If they can’t cancel the season outright, they’ll cancel OOC schedules and point to how many games that actually eliminates. Canceled games = perceived limited chances of exposure, so they’ll say they’re doing their part.

Why is Bronco trying to sabotage BYU's season?

No kidding, dude knows exactly how that would affect BYU.

I just can't see any scenario where ND agrees to have a schedule filled with

ND already plays 5 ACC teams each year...A lot easier to fill 4 than 9...

I'm sure that's his sole focus.

It's something he is absolutely aware of and should shut his mouth.

Article makes him out to be one of the decision-makers. He's suggesting action

Of course he's a decision maker

A giant troll job by KSL - from what is written to the picture.

If that happened my guess is that BYU would temporarily be placed in the MWC or

With ESPN calling the shots, I am not too worried about BYU finding

Hopefully we could at least play Army and ND

ND owes us a couple of games, not part of ACC therefore...

If this happens...I'm guessing all 7 independents will play each other

Grasping at straws. Covid doesn't care if you play 8 games vs 12 games

They may say that in June but by August the season will be canceled.

Maybe we will get all of those Notre Dame games after all

4/1/20 12:23pm

I'd go for playing ND 9 times this season, with a preseason Army game

MaxxPower

4/1/20 12:27pm

I think BYU would become a temporary AAC member...may be MWC.

I'd be up for playing JV football in MWC or AAC for just one year if that was the choice vs no football for a year

MaxxPower

4/1/20 12:43pm

It wouldn’t be terrible if we got 3-4 games with Army and ND

puntersarepeople

4/1/20 12:46pm

So, we play ND twice, Army twice, and then Liberty, UMass, N. Mexico St, & UConn

Goliath

I wouldn't mind that schedule, but I do think Notre Dame would go temporary ACC

Doogal McCougar

there's NO WAY Notre Dame takes a sabbatical

He's bitter

Same reason he sabotaged BYU's seasons when he was at BYU

I don't think that's a shot at BYU by Mendenhall. It's just a practicality. If

Smarter way IMO is to eliminate all FCS games first and then reduce the

That's not the point and doesn't really help anything.

Any way you look at it, if the season is reduced, it'll be a mess regardless.
