RGGeemer Intervention Needed

It's written into the contract as a BYU option.

"As part of both BYU bowl agreements, the Cougars also have an option to potentially participate in the Cheez-It Bowl in Arizona should its conference tie-ins (Big Ten and Big 12) be unable to provide an opponent. If applicable, that option can be exercised in lieu of one Independence Bowl and one ESPN Events bowl game. The Cheez-It Bowl airs on an ESPN network."

BYU achieved the highs of victories over storied programs and nationally ranked teams in 2019 during a 7-6 campaign that culminated at the SoFi Hawai’i Bowl.

San Diego, at 11-1 and having beat the Pac-12 champ, had no chance of anything

Really all bowls have lost their prowess outside the playoffs.

With how beat up we are, the easier the opponent the better the season will look

I think it’s better to play in three weeks as opposed to two weeks

I think they are hoping for BYU, but I don’t think it’s for sure

Go pound UTSA, have some fun, and give the seniors a great sendoff. Our best

Theyll invite us for sure. But couldn't we potentially opt out for the GRB?

RGGeemer

12/4/21 5:11pm

It's not our decision on whether to opt out, but that option is a possibility. Would depend on ESPN and the bowls

Yes it is. Whose decision do you think it is?

RGGeemer

Mostly ESPN and the bowls

If they don’t get 3 it means BYU hit one

Still might happen

I don’t think so

Some P5s have more contractual bowl ties than they have bowl-eligible teams

They don’t know if the GRB will exercise its option to take BYU

I've been hearing something different...I'd be mindblown if that happens

That would be cool, but I’m skeptical

Honestly I'm more skeptical than I was last week

Bummer. We deserve better. Sure am glad we FINALLY are going to a P-5. 🙂
