More BYU vs Stanford

Looks at the fine print, remembers Notre Dame.

Agreed. The games at BYU being after the games at Stanford scares me.

What do you mean? I’m not aware that the ND series played a role with going Indy

Obviously they didn't go indy because they got the contract.

Looks to me like 5 at Stanford, 1 in Provo. Then the stalling begins.

yea I am sure Stanford is scared to come to Provo..like Washington was. Geez

Yep, that is why I used the word "maybe".

Notice they aren't playing in Provo. Expect those to cancel.

Stanford won't be canceling season openers with enormous buyouts. Settle down.

One typically uses reason based on past experience and (in)consistencies. I'll stick with my gut on this one.

mulletino

Did ND ever pay its buyout fees? BYU often negotiates crappy contracts.

Archaea

1/29/20 2:17pm

No idea.

mulletino

1/29/20 2:20pm

My suspicion is, if ND had paid, we'd know, so we should assume, BYU

Archaea

That's my assumption as well but didn't want to draw a logical conclusion and have East1999 burn my house down.

mulletino

1/29/20 3:09pm

BYU and The Church have always been really strict about sticking to contracts.

Lance71

BYU doesn't owe ND anything. It's the other way around.

Agree, however it is the G5 losses that are hurting the program right now.

We win about 50% versus *non-Utah* P5 since independence.
