The idea of playing a game in the new Raiders stadium is pretty cool to me. I feel like we would still have the home field advantage there.

Holmoe was talking on the radio last week about the ND games. I was disgusted.

Uhhh.....isn't the point that Notre Dame should be the one who's pays it?

After seeing the results of contracts Tom has negotiated, how do you feel about

I think he blew it. Blew it big time. He is NOT a good negotiator.

To be fair, he needed to put schedules together with little time.

This makes my blood boil. I hate ND now and Holmoe is spineless

I agree. It is irritating but we gain nothing by punishing them.

RobDog

2/4/20 12:42pm

How is this punishing them? What do we gain by maintaining the status quo?

Y05

2/4/20 2:21pm

We gain the game or the payout. We gain nothing by maintaining current momentum

I like what Holmoe is doing with Notre Dame. Lots has changed at ND and BYU

Besides rolling over, what is Tom doing with ND?

Hinta

Not acting like a spoiled child like some on here would. A tantrum does zero for BYU.

They are businessmen. Don't see anything wrong with Holmoe saying

It’s not acting like a spoiled child to ask them to fulfill their contract.

No need to burn bridges, but it is a good idea to get a home game OR the money.

You think Holmoe is calling the shots over goring the legal route against ND?

Man. I would hate having you as a boss.

Contracts are put in place for a reason. Just follow the agreement that BOTH

So much for being an ethical institution. ND should be ashamed.

Watching ND smack us around like this is pretty embarrassing.

sometimes relationships are more important than being right

Str8CashCougar

If ND is unwilling to hold up its end of the contract then we should quit

OlanchoCoug

2/4/20 4:26pm

remember it's BYU, not ND that has a reputation for being difficult to work with

So you feel that ND has been fair in this whole thing? BYU has been extremely

Long game v short game

This is turning me into someone who will always cheer against Notre Dame.

Unfortunately, we don't have a lot of pull. Suppose we sue for breach and even settle favorably

Bob Vance

So us pursuing a payout for the home game we never got is gonna nuke our chances

OlanchoCoug

not saying that at all. just commenting on the obvious that our leverage is limited

Better to have a neutral game against ND in the raiders stadium than no game at all

Except if BYU were to make them pay then Notre Dame could claim they still

It is too easy to find an open date and schedule the game.

Imagine if you put all this disgust and mistrust into cheering for BYU

The benefit to you as a fan if Holmoe kicks and screams and demands a payout? Nothing. The benefit to you if

Make ND pay the penalty and risk never playing them or a ND-esque team again? That puts a pretty bad mark on BYU
