You know how people perpetuate the narrative that BYU is "hard to deal with"?

Do they even have the option? They still need an ACC game for 2022. And please, it is ND. They are hard to deal with.

They don’t need a 5th game. ACC deal planned on 4 for 2022 a long time ago.

*AAC. ND has not attached itself to a little boy conference

AAC, ACC. For football, it's close to the same, minus 1 team.

Turnpike Lane

Yikes. That's quite delusional, but explains why you wrongly want BYU to join

LiveCoug

Metrics back that up. The ACC without Clemson has been the worst P5.

Delusional? Ok what team In the ACC is worth anything other than Clemson?

Playing ND doesn’t change that perception at all.

I agree that last season was fun but I disagree that it was from the weak sked.

BYU needs games more than money….

Smart of him actually. Clearly notre dame doesn’t want to come to Provo. So

BYU is never going to be P5. Stand on principle here. Have a little pride.

I tend to agree with this…but I can see both sides of the argument

We don't have a national game on ABC or a $2.6M* payout, but we have our pride!

It wasn't a 4-for-2, it was two 2-for-1's. ND cancelled the second 2-for-1

They 100% owe us and should come to Provo because they signed a contract,

Yeah, the original poster was pretty dumb not to understand this.

Wait. Contracts were signed? Why weren’t we notified?

Pretorian

There is a buyout in the contract.

Cougstreak

Perhaps ND signed the contract with the intent to never come but to act like BYU

No they couldn't play the Buffalo Bills. Integrity matters. They signed a deal

Excellent take. So excellent, as a matter of fact, to argue against it is silly.

Why do you think BYU is refusing? Holmoe says they’re close to a deal to play…
