...about factors like “what does the game do our resume?” and “where would the game be played?” and “testing protocols” and “prep time”, etc.
Those are all excuses.
It also looked silly to brag about “we’ve played nine games and we’re nationally ranked.”
That’s also an excuse.
It would have been much more effective to say, “All we care about is a guarantee. If a PAC team or any other P5 team wants to offer us a guaranteed game, just tell us when and where and we’ll be there.”
BYU athletics needs to utilize focus groups.
