Brigham All-American

You can’t say it is coronavirus. Your opponents are playing 9 other games. It’s not like 10 games is going to tip any scales.

Then, play all the independents. Even if you have to play twice. Not a good alternative but it’s football.

If the NCAA goes to Conference-Only, Who will BYU Play

Easiest thing to do is just play out the rest of the season as scheduled from

Agreed...

Bunch of 3-6 teams in bowls would be stupid.

Why would there be 3-6 teams in bowls?

Actually this could be the silver lining for BYU. P5 teams not getting the 3OOC

We also didn't think they'd cancel the biggest tournament in the USA.

They can spread the virus for possibly two weeks before they show symptoms.

Agree but it's all so political now it's going to be a huge mess.

You have way more confidence in Holmoe than I. I’m certain they’re not working

They play no one and win.

No. Because all contracts have an escape clause regarding

The NCAA doesn't have a voice in the issue.

I wouldn't count on Notre Dame...I guess I'm snakebit.

I'm sure they could help us out and allow us to play at South Bend, in exchange

I’m sure the ACC would love to make ND a full member for a season.

This is correct

So you're saying BYU could go undefeated? Sweet!

We will get temporary membership to some conference

Hopefully after a season in the B12 they want us permanently

I think the MWC is more likely. PAC after that

Tom needs to get on the phone and plan ahead for this. Call in some favors.

Dr MoBYU

4/8/20 10:28am

Proximity will keep that from happening

shakarocks

4/8/20 10:52am

And why would they do that?

NCAA would help out the few independents. It’s easy enough to address.

Dr MoBYU

4/8/20 12:02pm

Unfortunately, the NCAA no longer has a voice in the governance issues.

Everyman

4/8/20 12:11pm

Exactly, I don't see any reason the conferences would add BYU.

Cougar TD

4/8/20 12:15pm

Well, neither does ESPN but NCAA and ESPN would help us.

Dr MoBYU

4/8/20 12:20pm

Just like they helped in gaining a Big 12 invitation.

Everyman

ESPN might be a better ally in helping BYU with an abbreviated schedule.

Rob of NV

4/8/20 12:13pm

ESPN would want to have as many of the games they have lined up played.

Cougar TD

My prediction: Football will have a full season, and by late June, our biggest

I hope we redshirt all of our starters if that is our schedule. Just use

Logistically that would create a scholarship crunch

Some teams could choose to play twice - do an in-season home and home.
