Why wouldn't BYU want to play a new FBS independent team?

Sure it should be an easy victory, and won't help BYU's RPI or SOS, but it's a good thing to look out for other independent schools.

BYU vs Liberty in 2019

That place makes BYU look like hippyville UC Berkeley

Ugh--What, was Southern Virginia Univ not available?

Goliath

So they can get Army on the schedule but BYU can not?

BYUFam1

5/12/17 5:22am

One and done for that game. But, yeah, had the same thought too.

Article says H/H. Liberty plays at Army in 2018, gets return game in 2021.

True. Now I am peeved. Gotta think the proximity and ease of opponent plays into

Army wants winnable games. BYU is not a winnable game. Liberty is.

Army also wants games in Virginia....not so much in Utah.

Army is scheduling a victory in this case

Who didn't expect this? Fellow Independent. One and done. FBS school, not FCS

BamaCoug

5/12/17 5:51am

I don't see how they can make it work. No TV contract, and social positions

Is this the "no dancing" school?

Harder to see with how far the pendulum has swung towards shaming, but the

I expect this deal to be a two for one

cougarmanguy

5/12/17 6:37am

Or even a three for one

FBS Schedules shows that this Liberty game would be 12th and final one for '19

Just gave this a POTD to give it the ultra-rare: "One vote a piece Yahtzee"

Retracted since you goobers screwed it up.

2019 sked is great through 7 games and then goes out with a whimper;

cwilke1

5/12/17 7:09am

Yes, a weak end to the schedule is probably the worst thing about Indy

BamaCoug

5/12/17 7:12am

We don't have other choices for home games. You aren't going to

cougarmanguy

5/12/17 7:14am

I don't disagree.....however, the Home schedule that year is still awesome

BoiseBlue

5/12/17 7:41am

looking optimistically - if USU and SDSU are strong in 2019, then it is really

One more game I will not be attending in LES...really dislike this about Indy

What were they thinking giving Alabama the middle finger when they wanted a 2-1

monkeycowboy

5/12/17 8:18am

Definitely we should go back to the killer mwc home schedules

cougarmanguy

5/12/17 8:24am

The perception that the MWC schedules were weaker,

I'd rather beating a down Michigan State and Mississippi state than a good

Imagine if taysom had that big rushing game at home versus New Mexico

cougarmanguy

5/12/17 9:06am

Plus losing to a Texas isn't as bad as losing to a good CSU team

BYUSwoop

5/12/17 4:07pm

Agree.

Everyman

5/12/17 9:55am

Yep.

Gentleman Stan

Remove Utah and TCU and the MWC schedules weren't great

boscatar

5/12/17 9:50am

2007 to 2010 were the absolute best years of the MWC...what about before 2007?

Iman23

5/12/17 12:32pm

Yeah. That home slate of Utah, USC, BSU and Washington is awful that year.

Jerry Falwell envisioned Liberty to be the evangelical version of ND and BYU

JoMax

5/12/17 8:52am

Had the same thought. They are in the middle of a $1Billion campus buildup,

BamaCoug

5/12/17 9:13am

I actually love this. Liberty is a great school

VAcougar24

5/12/17 9:15am

I'd rather we play 2 FCS schools than play a garbage institution like Liberty.

Blue Cat

5/12/17 9:31am

Can't disagree there. Gotta wonder about that hire.

CougarThug

5/12/17 10:38am

People really complain about this? Have you seen the home

Y'zFan

5/12/17 10:04am

So what do we think the thought process is for TH & KS in scheduling this game?

cwilke1

5/12/17 12:09pm

I think they wanted another gimme.

Niiineteeen84

5/12/17 1:33pm

Oklahoma gets Iowa St, Alabama gets Vanderbilt, we get Liberty. It all works.

Cougarpolis

5/12/17 2:39pm

But Iowa State and Vanderbilt would probably beat Liberty 50-7
