Ya each and every one of you would have held ND’s feet to the fire! You’d make em pay!

If only one of you, any one of you, were in charge - things would be different around here!

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

Do you have that kind of money?

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

Hinta

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.

Further people up the chain blew it. If you think Tom is the

Maybe he should read "the Art of the Deal" or whatever.

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

I like the idea of maintaining relationships... No matter how you look at it It

This is what I think. He needed to look good on the initial independence Reveal

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

PortlandBlue

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.

Turnpike Lane

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

Y05

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.

WHO DEY

2/4/20 1:11pm

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

That seems to be your natural state

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

SlantRoute

Watching ND smack us around like this is pretty embarrassing.

Ham

sometimes relationships are more important than being right

Str8CashCougar

2/4/20 3:49pm

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

Str8CashCougar

2/4/20 4:35pm

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

2/4/20 4:29pm

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

YIsForBrigham

2/4/20 5:52pm

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

ColonelMustard

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

Are we OK to say a CBer BLOWS or is that an attack?

Disgusted? Really? The drama is strong with this one.

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
