Why would we let a group that is desperate dictate the terms? They have zero leverage to impose this. Other teams will tell them to pound sand too.

BYU has to agree to PAC 12 covid testing and tracing protocols to play them.

Ugh. Regular season games in December. TNT feels so dirty

Pass, next.

This. We do NOT NEED them. Move on. Let them play their 4-5 games.

Hee hee. Yesterday everyone was clamoring for a game. Now pass?

This is correct

That's fine but BYU has less leverage here. They want/need another game

TNT

This is not correct

Wrong. PAC has no leverage here. BYU would “love to have the right game”

Playing at RES concerns me the least.

I have never advocated for playing Utah. Not this year, not any year.

seems like a valid request. if the team is clean as they claim, it shouldn't be an issue

They may not want to do tracing. Testing should be fine.

The PAC-12 protocol is ridiculous. It would be valid if it was reasonable

what is the protocol?

NBD. Jump through the hoops and get the games played.

Ya, the team who has had a handful of cases is gonna comply with the regulations

Right? You want to just tell them to take their ball and go home (literally).

PAC requires 6-9 tests per player per week? Um, OK. Nasal swab or bust? Dumb.

what a horribly biased article

^^^^My strong sentiment as I read this. Self-aggrandizing and condescending.

Screw you Pac12. If you want to have some games then play under our rules

We're ranked #8, we make the rules.

Testing is different that rules that dictate how many players must be available.

no one outside of BYU is going to want to play anyone in the PAC12 either

Will knowing that BYU could have picked up P5 game, but didn't, affect voters?

DoseOfReality

11/19/20 12:40pm

What voters? You mean for post season play?

TNT

The playoff committee ranking, which also awards the NY6 spots. BYU currently

What's the point of picking up a game if it's going to be cancelled anyway?

ditch

Right, so BYU should just let the "3rd party" P12 testing disqualify key players

Yeah, for 1 week. Not really a big deal. 5-6 days of their rigor. Ok so! Do it!
