If UW reached out on Saturday for a game it wasn't in good faith.

hydrocoug

They were looking for a backup plan, nothing more.

mudpupper

They likely reached out knowing their game with WSU was going to be cancelled to start a conversation with BYU.

However, they would have to play UU if that game doesn't happen.
