It also sets a risky precedent that national programs can cajole us into playing
neutral games when it is better for our program to have the advantages of playing in our home stadium.
Don't get me wrong; neutral games are smart business from time to time. But you have to be careful not to set a precedent that we don't value our home field. Notre Dame realizes this, which is why they got us to play 2 games on their home field; and they got 2 wins out of that, which is a bigger deal in most cases than getting a few extra million by playing on a neutral field and taking a loss. Sure BYU could win that game in a neutral location, but statistically speaking they have a better shot of winning if that game is played on their home field. And we need the win.
