RE: Tom is doing the right thing here.

Better to have a neutral game in the Vegas Raiders stadium than BYU home game fro exposure POV. That game would get huge attention and ratings and BYU could prob get equal payout due to contract issue.

Great game for November some year in the next 5-6 seasons? It would be huge in front of at least a 50-50 crowd.

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

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

2/4/20 12:43pm

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

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.

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

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

So you feel that ND has been fair in this whole thing? BYU has been extremely

Unfortunately, we don't have a lot of pull. Suppose we sue for breach and even settle favorably

So us pursuing a payout for the home game we never got is gonna nuke our chances

It is too easy to find an open date and schedule the game.

Make ND pay the penalty and risk never playing them or a ND-esque team again? That puts a pretty bad mark on BYU
