Tennessee just announced they are kicking off the 2023 season against UVA instead of at BYU

Fine but byu better get that home return game

Maybe the date moved?

Turnpike Lane

Doubtful

RockyBalboa

5/16/22 12:13pm

That really sucks. I hope it’s moving to another date in September.

rivercitycoug

5/16/22 12:14pm

I mean, the linked press release talks about how inaccessible a game in Utah would be for Tennessee fans, so I doubt it.

TCuz

5/16/22 12:16pm

Didn't hurt BYU fans getting to Knoxville...

Phred84044

SEC fans don't leave the south.

Give me a break, anyone ever trying to get to Knoxville knows this is a joke.

cosmohio

5/16/22 1:29pm

SEC fans be all like... Utah??

VACOUGFAN

5/16/22 1:36pm

Unless they cancel another OOC game, they’re full

Martin Van Nostrand

5/16/22 12:16pm

A veritable murderers row OOC schedule.

VACOUGFAN

5/16/22 12:41pm

The conference schedule is a smidge better. It also means they get 7 home games

Martin Van Nostrand

5/16/22 12:45pm

When do they move to Big12?

WDaddy

5/16/22 12:15pm

2023, that’s the first football season in conference

Martin Van Nostrand

5/16/22 12:18pm

BYU moving SUU to Sept 2nd?

mulletino

5/16/22 12:16pm

I looked up the contract. $2mil to buyout

Art Director

5/16/22 12:16pm

Excellent, any decent P5s have an available OOC slot? We got $1.8M to spend!

Martin Van Nostrand

5/16/22 12:18pm

They won’t get another p5 they will get a g5 to make sure we are bowl eligible

Cougz19

5/16/22 3:05pm

Alabama and Pitt

krindorr

5/16/22 3:12pm

More info from Outkick. BYU gets a $2 Million buyout.

Turnpike Lane

5/16/22 12:17pm

Wow. They really did it. $2MM.

mulletino

5/16/22 12:18pm

Not a bad deal at all for BYU.

byubyu

5/16/22 12:21pm

Pays for many new football staff jobs

Turnpike Lane

5/16/22 12:21pm

I’d rather play Tennessee.

TCuz

5/16/22 12:21pm

Me too. But better than Tennessee bailing and BYU getting something stupid like

byubyu

5/16/22 12:24pm

Agreed. Beatable SEC team with brand cachet. I’d love that one back.

Pimpin4Paradise

5/16/22 12:59pm

Sucks for BYU season ticket holders.

rivercitycoug

5/16/22 12:29pm

I'm sure they will discount the tickets appropriately.

byubyu

5/16/22 12:35pm

At least have Year 1 of B12 schedules to fall back on. That's the difference now.

Turnpike Lane

5/16/22 12:57pm

Yes but that was a great home opener

rivercitycoug

5/16/22 1:24pm

I hope those chicken turd vols lose to the cavaliers on SEC TV and in their home

gmj81

5/16/22 12:25pm

Sounds like both Tennessee and Virginia are paying BYU, BYU get first 2M in ticket revenue for the game before anyone

jaromp

5/16/22 12:41pm

The SEC is the wussiest non-conference road travel entity out there.

cosmohio

5/16/22 1:32pm

Freaking SEC.

mulletino

5/16/22 12:18pm

Was that a home game for BYU?

RoyalTX

5/16/22 12:19pm

Yes.

mulletino

5/16/22 12:20pm

yes, but year 1 in B12. So will probably add a level B game for a home contest since play @Arkansas.

Turnpike Lane

5/16/22 12:20pm

I bet it's USU in Provo. They owe us from 2020.

mulletino

5/16/22 12:21pm

Did you say Level B? Good thing we have one of those close to home. #Aggies

WDaddy

5/16/22 12:23pm

USU is already booked on 9/2 at Iowa and 9/9 Idaho St. So maybe USU moves their

cwilke1

5/16/22 12:31pm

yes. was scheduled to be the return game for BYU's 2019 game at their stadium

cwilke1

5/16/22 12:21pm

The negotiations with Notre Dame give me great hope that we'll get a makeup game

TheWanderer

5/16/22 12:30pm

I mean, they are writing a $2 million check to get out of this

The Dark Knight

5/16/22 12:32pm

Which makes the "We're tryin' to generate revenue" line so silly.

TheWanderer

5/16/22 12:36pm

There's no makeup. Paying the penalty of $2MM.

mulletino

5/16/22 12:35pm

When I drove by their campus I wondered if that was a chicken farm nearby.

Les IsMore

5/16/22 12:40pm

While I would love to play Tenn in LES, I'm not too sad about it not happening

LifeLongLakerFan

5/16/22 12:42pm

While it hurts fans, the one's who suffer the most

downtownchrisbrown

5/16/22 12:44pm

Why can't we learn this stuff from BYU's PR department?

2FarGone

5/16/22 12:50pm

Does it really matter? UT is the one who already has the replacement game scheduled, not us.

Indy Coug

5/16/22 12:52pm

you don't announce canceling games (unless it's a long standing series). you announce new games.

molodyets

5/16/22 12:54pm

We hear about those from others first, too.

2FarGone

5/16/22 12:55pm

and i think you might be the only one that cares

molodyets

5/16/22 1:03pm

Probably not; I'm just the only one that said something . . . this time

2FarGone

5/16/22 1:09pm

What ticks me off is the timing. It wasn’t until we had cleared the schedule

TerpCoug

5/16/22 12:55pm

not that simple. Boise St. already has 2 big games scheduled for 9/2 and 9/9

cwilke1

5/16/22 12:57pm

Not necessarily, big 12 teams have done mid season OOC games like us and Baylor

TerpCoug

5/16/22 1:09pm

but also a question if BYU can fit this one new game back into a home and home

cwilke1

5/16/22 1:26pm

I like the idea of having a weak OOC schedule for our first couple of years in the B12. We just aren't deep enough yet.

HarlemCoug

5/16/22 1:25pm

This makes me so freaking upset

BYU Tuba

5/16/22 2:25pm

Fine. Replace TN w/an automatic win. SEC Ark and the 1st B12 season is already

Forzaitalia

5/16/22 2:43pm

Possibilities for September 2nd Replacement

krindorr

5/16/22 3:02pm

Pitt would be cool but their OOC is Cincy, West Virginia and ND. Bama doesn’t

TerpCoug

5/16/22 3:05pm

The ACC plays only 8 conference games, so they still have one OOC available

krindorr

5/16/22 3:10pm

Watch out - this may be a start to reduce B12 stature.

Cswilliam01

5/16/22 4:20pm

What games from that season had we already canceled? Would have been nice

ColonelMustard

5/17/22 1:23pm

Yeah, but Tennessee was hoping we'd pay them to cancel it
