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

Was HUGE for a newly independent BYU to come out of the gates with 6 ND games even though they didn’t materialize.

That all said... it’s probably time to poop or get off the pot. We don’t need them anymore with 6* P5s on the schedule for now on.

It’s either Vegas as BYU the home team (like West VA was the home team in DC) + extra cash or in Provo as agreed or a very public cash out snubbing showing ND as an unreliable contract....

They have had their time....

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

I agree. Make them pay the penalty

Do you have that kind of money?

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

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?

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

2/4/20 12:42pm

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.

2/4/20 12:48pm

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.

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.

Ham

sometimes relationships are more important than being right

2/4/20 3:49pm

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

2/4/20 4:26pm

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

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

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

2/4/20 5:52pm

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.

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
