BYU will be in AZ for its Bowl Game. Mark it.

Isn't the Peach Bowl still slightly in play?

dYrtbYkerYder

Possibly, but the Fiesta would prefer to have BYU in it instead of a Wake vs ND game.

molodyets

12/3/21 11:44am

Just as in play as the Fiesta Bowl.

No, IF a NY6 bowl miraculously happens, it’s likely the NY6 bowls would want the teams in cities they can sell the most

Technically but the Fiesta Bowl makes much more sense

This is the way and is mutually beneficial for all parties involved

Please send this in an email to the Committee.

Let it be true...just moved to PHX this summer

You should buy tickets anyway. They're cheap. Go enjoy a good game no matter who is playing.

molodyets

12/3/21 11:48am

And leading up to the Fiesta Bowl, you'll be able to get tickets for ~35-40 as well. There is

I went to fiesta bolwl playoff game. Ohio state vs clemson. Got free tickets

I hope you are right!

Isn't the Independence Bowl a higher payout than the GRB though? I'd rather play

Polemic

12/3/21 11:45am

No. The last reported payout was when it was ACC vs SEC in 2019 - then it got reworked to by Indy vs CUSA and was

No No No

It appears it might be and that would be a very BYU Adminish thing to do

See molodyets comment above

Make it happen. 30 minute drive for me and I'll get to see all the 3rd

OUR CONTRACT WITH THE INDEPENDENCE BOWL SPECIFIC ALLOWS US TO EXERCISE THIS OPTION

molodyets

Don’t yell

I'mBatman

12/3/21 12:07pm

I hope you are wrong - that would be so disappointing

BYU Fan

On the other hand, BYU has already played this year in Vegas, SoCal and NW

Doogal McCougar

BYU also played in Waco & Ga Southern this year

BYU Fan

12/3/21 12:50pm

I'm not excited for the Independence Bowl at all. I would likely attend

Doogal McCougar

12/3/21 12:57pm

You are probably right with the "desire bias"

BYU Fan

12/3/21 1:34pm

There's a decent chance BYU brings the Independence Bowl to the Big 12

Doogal McCougar

12/3/21 12:16pm

The Big 12 doesn’t need BYU to get a contract with the Independence Bowl

runningryan

12/3/21 12:24pm

Not what I said. BYU brings the Big 12 to the Independence Bowl

Doogal McCougar

12/3/21 12:29pm

BYU's agreement with the Indy Bowl will evaporate once we are in Big XII

jegaman

12/3/21 1:48pm

Yeah like the time we were contracted to play in the Hawaii Bowl in 2015 but exercised our option to play in Vegas

If what you say is true, another feather in Holmo’s cap.

Contract states that it's AN option, but it's not OUR option

krindorr

12/3/21 1:31pm

Why are payouts lower for indy than conference teams? That doesn't seem fair.

The prestige of each individual school varies.

Not really this as much as people think

byublue42

I hope an AZ bowl happens. I could likely go.

NewMexiCoug

Help me out here. 9 bowl eligible teams minus MSU and MI leaves 7 not 6, right?

That's what I was wondering. Math doesn't add up.

Possible, BUT... Michigan would absolutely need to win B1G championship game

Nope because OSU and Michigan would still be ranked high enough and Iowa would get the
