If the only other option is BYU being left out of a bowl game, I'd want the additional month of practice and a game over no game.

Bowl #41 in snow-bound Provo, Utah. Really?

Bowl #0 in Nowhere, Nowhere. Sound better to you?

Provo is hardly ever really snow-bound in December

Right...and be locked into some money-losing, CA-based, lowly bowl.

Is that different than how it is now?

Not sure BYU lost money. The suggestion was for some BYU ownership in a CA bowl.

Teams hardly ever make money on the bowls

Why would you even want that? A 7-5 or better BYU team will be bowling, period.

Agreed. There's too many teams tied-in to current bowl for them to realistically

Is BYU an alternate?

concolor couguar

No BYU would not be the alternate thus the contract

All of the non-CFP bowls appear to have a primary tie in

The WAC had that deal in place in 1994

I stand corrected on that. But buyouts do and have taken place
