BYU Fan Intervention Needed

I haven't researched yet this year but bowls are usually tied to specific conferences.

And the Birmingham Bowl vs an SEC team on January 1st would seem to a good option (comparatively) if we get left out of the NY6.

There's lots of pooling for the G5 conferences w/ this new bowl cycle which

I don’t think it’s guaranteed in a year like this.

Maybe we don't get a bowl game and then a lot of players feel like they need to

I'd especially love Tonga back but I would be most shocked if he stays

We could start the Lavell Edwards Memorial Bowl and play Utah, since they won't

What prevents ESPN & BYU from arranging a game? Does it have to be a bowl game?

Call it "Covid & CFP Committe Kiljoyed Our Season" bowl?

Think of all the sponsors lining up for that one!

I'm sure the Committee would donate NY6 type $$ payout...

Just schedule another game against a local team and call it a bowl game

Do this. Liberty would probably be a compelling tv matchup

It occurred to me tonight that BYU might not go bowling. I hope that's not true.

If its costly, with little payout, it's likely we decline a bowl like New Mexico
