You are not being honest with yourself if you believe BYU doesn't need this game
more than ND does for the 2022 season.

Holmoe basically confirms that he gave ND whatever they wanted to play them in

Maybe he got more money than the buyout

I hope it was enough to cover the travel costs and a surplus.

Notre Dame was either going to pay the buyout or do this. BYU took the better option. They were not coming to Provo.

I would have preferred the buyout.

Not me. I'd rather play the game. It's on NBC. Viewership will be very high. We

This is likely to be our most watched game ever

Why? It's not like we haven't played ND on NBC before.

Just because of population growth and generally increased interest in football viewership

It's a gamble ... we'd better win

It's really not that much of a gamble.

Taking the buy out would be an emotional decision.

I don't think it's just about being on good terms.

Holmoe was thoroughly out-negotiated.

Holmoe had absolutely no leverage.

Any future football game against ND needs to either be in Vegas or Provo. BYU football should never again travel to

Not me. We get the game and more money than a buyout would have brought.
kccougar
6/22/22 9:39am
But we would have had the buyout money plus another game (which we would have made money off of) had we gone the other

You can't buy the prestige of beating Notre Dame on the road. So, I hope we win.

Why? It's literally the most exciting game on our schedule next year.

That's a myopic assessment. The mistake was made negotiating a 2-1 with the 1st

I'm not shocked at all by it. Just sharing what he reaffirmed.

ND has leverage. BYU needs ND game more than ND needs BYU game.

Not anymore. Those days ended before this game got scheduled.

BYU didn't "need" Notre Dame for 2022. They could have just as easily found someone else and the rest of the schedule
Indy Coug
6/22/22 9:48am
ND's schedule is filled with 8 P5 teams. For NY bowl BYU needs more P5 games
flyzag
6/22/22 9:51am
BYU could have got another P5 team.

Not likely. The BYU-Notre Dame game was announced last fall, about 3 weeks after

It was announced then, but how long had they been working to get the game with

6/22/22 10:34am
how many p5 teams of ND quality have a game left to fill in schedule?

Doesn't need. But still very beneficial
krindorr
6/22/22 2:46pm
This is a true statement but BYU doesn't need a ND game so badly to get abused

We don't need that game. Why do we need it?

BYU needs marque P5 wins to earn a NY Bowl. BYU without ND only has

I agree with your perspective, but we still play at Stanford in '22
Doogal McCougar
6/22/22 3:37pm
Of course. It's ridiculous what we did to get that extra game. Should have just forced them to pay us.
Indy Coug
6/22/22 9:41am
BYU will earn more than the contracted buyout. Plus, we get ND in Vegas.
Doogal McCougar
6/22/22 9:47am
No, ND gets BYU in Vegas. Based on ticket allocation, most of us won't be there.

*Then, we get ND on NBC.

There is/was no need to force ND to pay the buyout. ND has been offering and
