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

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

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

Seems like very few agree with you

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

Take the $1M and use it on the weight room.

Turnpike Lane

7/12/21 8:51am

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

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.
