buyout involved. BYU has bought out games before and ND may have to as well. The penalty for a buyout is mutually agreed, so it is hard to say you've been "played". If you don't want to take the risk of a buyout, don't agree to it.

That's a pretty unethical way to handle that agreement.

I think we part on good terms if they come here once. That's all it takes.

I think we part on good terms if they buy out the game. You can't be upset if

Most of us were upset when Utah bought out the home basketball game

cougarstolz

10/28/16 1:48pm

Right, but they haven't bought the game out and I don't believe they intend to

swingcat

10/28/16 11:15am

That's on BYU if they allow that to happen and they won't.

Contractually they have to buyout the game or play it.

The did not join the ACC. They just signed another scheduling agreement

True....I'll edit.

Thrill

10/28/16 11:50am

but at the same time, they are announcing new scheduling agreements

Not unethical at all. Would we rather that they just paid the buyout last year?

Unethical was probably the wrong word.

swingcat

10/28/16 11:34am

Bad faith? Just a nicer sounding version of unethical.

BYU would have done the same thing to other teams had they joined the B12.

Man up and play the game. Looks like we both have Sep 7 2019 open. Let's do it

YIsForBrigham

It's not even on us to find a date. We'd move just about any scheduled game.

They already have 12 games in 2019. USC game isn't officially on FBSchedules

I say play in Provo on December 4, 2021

boscatar

10/28/16 11:24am

yes 2021 looks to be the soonest

Then, play 2 neutral-site games in December. '25 in Texas and '27 in Las Vegas

Wish we had played them this year!

It would have been great timing.

Notre Dame is the reason we have USC and Stanford on the schedule. ND's hands

I can imagine they have scheduling difficulties...opposite of ours, but still

Seems like they were doing us a favor at the time

I don't want to take all the credit, but Lou Holtz owed me a favor...

Except for the fact there is a little thing called a contract for the 6 games...

I'll give Lou a call and see if he can get with ND Legal

Only for the first 3 games (2 for 1)

Ahh, didn't realize that. Hopefully ND will play the game in Provo from the

I love Notre Dame for the way they immediately stepped up and gave us Indy cred.
