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

That is the province of the individual conferences.

The P5 and the G5, if faced with a shortened season, will have a collaborative format - number of games, because so-eligibility etc. They will take care of their own.

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?

KingDave

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.

Or just play the season? seems pretty simple to me

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

zerome4sooners

They play no one and win.

Could BYU sue the teams for breach of contract?

Brigham

No. Because all contracts have an escape clause regarding

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

puntersarepeople

4/8/20 9:55am

I think the MWC is more likely. PAC after that

shakarocks

4/8/20 9:59am

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?

Cougar TD

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

Everyman

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

4/8/20 2:23pm

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

4/8/20 12:16pm

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.
