fattycoug Intervention Needed

Why would SDSU, then, move the game if they could play CU this weekend AND still play BYU in 2 weeks?

Plus, playing a team like Colorado is going to cost about $300K and isn't

Do you think SDSU is paying 300k to play Colorado?

Maybe? I have no idea.

Of course, but that is the cost of having a football team

No it isn't. Usually you get a portion of the TV revenue, but the P12 is keeping

It is still the same cost, just not the same return

Actually, its not. In a normal season you know who you are playing when and where. The Athletic Department will have

P12 tv partner does not mean 0 revenue for BYU, where did you see 0 revenue?

At this point unless a win is going to obviously improve your ranking, you

Who cares? The Committee is not going to allow BYU in, just play the games and have fun

Agree but you still need to find someone willing to play you. That’s not easy

Exactly. BYU has given us a great season when we didn’t think we’d even have one

More short sighted spending money you don’t have for nothing of value

Disagree. Beating up any P5 will move the needle.

did i see a post claiming Coastal or Marshall turned down BYU request?

Jake Hatch reported that earlier this week.

But when you consider #14, covid, special season, and being desperate for games,

That assumes that any of the available teams wanta to play BYU. Maybe it had

I'll concede that Holmoe knew there was absolutely no possible chance to play

Letting the kids go home, could be one of the worst decisions made this year.

Or a break could be just what this team needs right now

Isleofavalon

It could be your right but it’s not like KS and TH are not aware of that.

They turned down uw partly because of hotel costs. What makes you think that hasn't happened again
