BYU ND in Vegas? I say, no deal.

I am so done with ND. Goodbye and good riddance.

Yep. Get whatever payout they would owe and be done.

Niiineteeen84

7/12/21 8:39am

But BYU also needs games and quality opponents. This provides all three.

There are more than 120 other options

There are maybe 5 opponents that would match this game at Allegiant stadium

(Private)

7/12/21 2:23pm

I don't enjoy getting "big timed," even if it's by one of CFB's biggest brands

reddead

7/12/21 3:37pm

Agreed. But if part of this neutral game deal is a payout then I'm amenable.

Seems like very few agree with you

Amen. Scumbags.

They cancelled the return games in Provo after we played there...

diluigifan

7/12/21 10:56am

Yeap, get Southern Utah on the schedule stat.

777

7/12/21 10:46am

ND is still big brand and a Vegas game would be huge for any program

justmyopinion

7/12/21 8:40am

How about we do it in south bend but it counts as a BYU home game

Mostlyaccurate

7/12/21 8:44am

I'd fly out to see that. Lol.

Bert609

7/12/21 8:58am

...and Rudy leads the BYU team out onto the field!

WhyaskY?

7/12/21 12:14pm

If they can get this next year, it's a no brainer.

Westsider

7/12/21 8:44am

Would that be the first neutral site game where BYU is actually closer?

mudpupper

7/12/21 8:50am

Provo is closer to Vegas than Tucson

LiveCoug

7/12/21 8:53am

Not if you fly. 1:10 from TUS, 1:15 from SLC

Play the Game

2FarGone

7/12/21 8:54am

True though a payout would be inconsequential to them so why not just

gmj81

7/12/21 10:59am

Money is most definitely our problem

Backcountry

7/12/21 11:17am

I think you and I both agree that not being in a P5 is our real problem

2FarGone

7/12/21 11:20am

They are both important. But we are so far behind the P5s in terms of revenue

Backcountry

7/12/21 11:25am

Much, much rather have ND in Vegas than some G5 team in Provo

LiveCoug

7/12/21 8:54am

I’d take that game in a heartbeat

BYUheaven

7/12/21 9:01am

I'd take that game in a second. Tee's up other marquee games in Vegas for us and

SLIVER

7/12/21 9:07am

Absolutely play this game!

SUAVO

7/12/21 9:07am

I’d play that game every year in Vegas and never return to South Bend.

SpiffCoug

7/12/21 9:10am

Every bar/club/dispensary in Vegas when BYU and Notre Dame fans come to town

CougarHut

7/12/21 9:11am

You don't know many ND fans.

ParentingNotForSissy

7/12/21 9:21am

Of course you take this game. This is not even a real question.

YIsForBrigham

7/12/21 9:13am

Agree. Make them come to provo or pay.

Backcountry

7/12/21 9:19am

Technically, the Irish own BYU 4 more games, two in Provo and 2 in South Bend.

LEDSFW

7/12/21 9:19am

Yep. I wouldnt play in Vegas without a game in Provo also.

Backcountry

7/12/21 9:21am

Never return to South Bend until they come to Provo. I would be ok with 3 of those 4 games (or even all 4) in Vegas.

SpiffCoug

7/12/21 10:16am

This is the way.

Orem58thBall

7/12/21 11:13am

Just as long as it is understood that this is not a fulfillment of the current

gmj81

7/12/21 11:18am

Yep. This is not a concession of the BYU home games that are owed. Playing ND is a good thing for BYU. As is a game in

7/12/21 11:34am

Take it, show big attendance and TV viewership and use it to get other big games

Marc Spector

7/12/21 9:27am

BYU's ticket allotment better be 50k if this replaces a home game

CaliWG

7/12/21 9:40am

Any game with ND keeps BYU in the public eye. Do it.

Oatmeal

7/12/21 9:44am

I’ve been consistent in this. Provo or write us a check

spugeddy24

7/12/21 9:53am

People forget they'd owe us multiple game checks, so it'd be at least $2M

CaliWG

7/12/21 10:00am

Its about context. Of course we need games, quality opponents and, ignoring

rocker

7/12/21 10:07am

It’d bug me not to get a true home game from that contract but feel that may be the best realistic option so take it.

Soupie

7/12/21 10:21am

It would be fine with me. No Catholics in Vegas.

Heath Squashwell

7/12/21 10:34am

I'm there

Kerbouchard

7/12/21 11:11am

Deal!

coolblue

7/12/21 11:23am

I would tell them to take a hike, but Tom will take the game for sure.

I don't know what the BYU-ND contract says, so I don't really care any more.

Archaea

7/12/21 12:00pm

this is just some dude opinion. Nothing from ND/BYU athletics departments. meh

Swishfromdeep3

7/12/21 12:03pm

I'd take the game

AF_Puma

7/12/21 12:16pm

Time lost and games played there are sunk costs

CaughtForaTouchdown

7/12/21 12:28pm

USC likes to claim the Rose Bowl as their second home stadium…

BYU-Laie

7/12/21 1:42pm

Yep. No deal. Play us in Provo or buy us out.

BlooCoog

7/12/21 2:11pm

I'd be there.

TailgateU

7/12/21 2:41pm

Yeah, we really should help ND's Bishop Gorman recruiting efforts.

CougarThug

7/12/21 6:04pm

ND (despite coming up short on biggest stage recently) is elite. Play the game.

grosven

Any team, any time, any place.
