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

TCuz Disgraced Rules President

5/16/22 12:11pm

Fine but byu better get that home return game

I'mBatman

5/16/22 12:13pm

Dang. Wasn't that supposed to be in Provo?

Gator

5/16/22 12:13pm

Maybe the date moved?

Turnpike Lane

5/16/22 12:13pm

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

5/16/22 1:06pm

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

So playing Virginia in Nashville is better revenue than playing BYU with their

Utefaninenemyland

5/16/22 12:56pm

Sounds like you don't know how revenue share works.

Turnpike Lane

5/16/22 1:00pm

Hmm I would just think they could have payed the buyout and played BYU in

Utefaninenemyland

5/16/22 1:04pm

Why would byu want to have a 2-0 deal with Tennessee?

BYU '80

5/16/22 1:56pm

Does Tennessee really make enough in a neutral site game to buyout $2M?

TheWanderer

5/16/22 1:08pm

Ticket revenue, plus they now control TV revenue. So yes they will.

Turnpike Lane

5/16/22 1:10pm

The neutral site matchup is paying 2mm to BYU, and 1.5mm each to UT and UVA.

molodyets

5/16/22 1:17pm

galaxy brain analysis here

molodyets

5/16/22 1:04pm

Such a narrow-minded perspective. Real question - Who's fanbase is more global -

BYU I Bleed Blue

5/16/22 1:28pm

Yeah in an nfl stadium in their home state. Pretty obvious

BYU '80

5/16/22 1:55pm

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

Writing is on the wall.

Utefaninenemyland

5/16/22 5:16pm

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
