Division Bell Intervention Needed

would cause them to play the game rather than spend a lot of money to fight getting out of a contract.

Sunuva...!!!

Half their conference can't afford to pay the cancellation fee. Bankrupt them.

7/9/20 3:02pm

Others may be different, but BYU will not push this at all.

They better

If they push, how many of those teams will come back to play BYU? We

It's a contract.

whirl

7/9/20 3:34pm

BYU needs games. schools like Michigan State don't need BYU

Baron

7/9/20 3:35pm

They have to. These are major financial damages.

zonacougar

7/9/20 3:08pm

Yeah. Straight up cancelling our football season is a big friggin deal.

ballen

7/9/20 3:09pm

Because BYU is so wealthy they can afford to not play any games?

ManicBlue

7/9/20 3:08pm

BYU is too nice.

spineless. It only suffers silently but never inflicts pain on anyone.

Archaea

Except for its own fans

MasterLump

True. BYU prefers the stoic victim status without ever demanding anything of

BYU will have no choice but to push it. BYU is getting hammered by this.

BYU has no spine when it has an advantage.

Archaea

7/9/20 3:07pm

Notre Dame is exhibit A of this. Should have paid out years ago

IntelCougar

7/9/20 3:18pm

BYU still has no advantage.

Baron

7/9/20 3:20pm

The advantage would be a signed contract

HONOMO

7/9/20 4:07pm

Ha. That's naive. Here is all they have to

Baron

7/9/20 4:15pm

There are 5 P5 teams on the 2020 schedule (minus Utah). There are 64 P5 teams.

HONOMO

7/9/20 4:33pm

That's naive again. Many of those 64 teams will never place us. We have

I'm not a lawyer. Just guessing here. I would hope the cost of litigation

Division Bell

In independence we have scheduled 28 of the 64 P5 teams

home and homes with all the Indies sans ND could be an unfortunate possibility

JONBOY

not even worth watching. Yuck. Tom, you'd better show some intestinal fortitude.

Archaea

7/9/20 3:08pm

Football season over? Virus = very yes? That's not a good prize!

Ungoy

7/9/20 3:05pm

Larry Scott to take another paycut?

Nat Gas Man

7/9/20 3:07pm

I really hate both of those conferences

Colorado

7/9/20 3:12pm

man, this really does kinda feel like it's driven by consolidating power

v1k0u6

7/9/20 3:17pm

Yeah. A convenient excuse to never have to schedule non-P5s ever again

ballen

7/9/20 3:19pm

The P5 schools need the non-P5 schools just as much, for scheduling

hdx57

7/9/20 4:31pm

Not really. They'll use this as a case study to show why only scheduling P5

ballen

7/9/20 4:42pm

Governments, agencies, P5 schools...most of them going full black hole now.

zonacougar

7/9/20 3:22pm

Ugh. That's so not fair to CFB fans

TFL

7/9/20 3:24pm

Agreed

7/9/20 5:07pm

Without non-conference games, we won't get to see how overrated the Pac12 is

The curse is stronger than I thought....

HolaHalo

I hope they all crash and burn.

Perfect time for BYU and Notre Dame to play

coot20

7/9/20 3:56pm

Also Navy Army and Airforce

coot20

7/9/20 3:57pm

Not sure how not playing BYU makes things safer for PAC12 teams.

Srg

7/9/20 4:10pm

You either play all games or no games. Just playing conference games is dumb.

RestonWarrior89

7/9/20 4:17pm

This is just a graduated step towards canceling all Fall sports
