think there was only a 10% chance that the BYU vs UW game would have happened, so the guarantee makes complete sense to avoid losing time and money. Tom would have looked stupid to accept the Pac12 terms in that situation.

We did practice an extra day. But it didn't matter. Something is fishy here.

Do you think our #14 ranking is punishment for not accepting the UW game?

You have no evidence that we rejected the offer. Just anonymous tweets

So there's nothing to reject if somebody's not going to guarantee it.
