(or at least giving a view that this wasn't brokered on a Sunday), I figured any announcement would be Tuesday.

the list of teams that can are small and the teams that care even smaller

Sadly that's where the situation is right now. First, BYU has to find a team

why won't Army honor its commitment?

I'd imagine due to the Army/Navy game and not wanting to risk players

BYU should do everything to hold them to their contract, if possible.

I can't imagine BYU and its administrators are even slightly interested in

We canceled on them due to COVID. How are they not "honoring their commitment"?

It was postponed, not cancelled. That's a pretty key distinction.

Just not sure, contractually, that we have a leg to stand on to strong-arm them

moknowssports

11/30/20 12:51pm

Right, hence my qualifier "if possible"

ldssdl

11/30/20 12:53pm

I agree we should. I just don't think it's "possible" in this COVID year...

Perhaps not, I just hope Holmoe is doing everything he can to force the issue,

Is the return game still on or will that be cancelled too?

Army plays Navy on 12/12 and AFA 12/19, so it's this week or bust for BYU.

This is almost as annoying as Norte Dame reneging on their contract, even in a Covid-19 year.

But I admittedly don’t know any of the facts behind their refusal to reschedule despite opportunities to do so.

For all you know it's BYU that doesn't want that game. Chill.

All-American

11/30/20 12:50pm

Not from what TH and Kalani have said. From all appearances, they have an aggressive in pursuing a rescheduled game.

We're waiting for the CFP rankings to come out, before we decide how to proceed

PAC 12 has yet to cancel a game

Not surprising. They have now seen is play 9 times.

Miami was close to a done deal til FSU game canceled. Out of our hands.

How do you know that? Making assumptions? Or you know for a fact?
