The $ from the Shamrock Series is way, way higher than what ND would've paid us

Are you sure BYU even gets a lot more money? Or are you just guessing?

Holmoe isn't stupid and has options. He made the best choice for the team and

That remains to be seen. Holmoe admitted this is a ND "home" game

As I said..if they cancel the game they wouldn't get to go either.

No but at the time this game was scheduled they still could have potentially

in 2019 Cinci got $1.2M for a neutral site Shamrock game (also got 6000 seat allocation)

Cincinnati's contract was not for a neutral Shamrock game.

No, but it's redundant.

shoganai

As far as ticket allocation goes historically it does not seem to be neutral

They didn't even play that year. 2021 was a 1 and DONE deal.

Don't forget that Notre Dame joined the ACC after signing the deal with BYU

ND in Provo was the first BYU football game I attended 2004. Good game.

A big part of the Crowton mystery. So good, so bad.

Some fans act like the home/away balance is going to be put up on the scoreboard for the nation to see

What were the other options for that date? Any good teams available to play us? Isn't that Tom's math? I've got a date

Now beat them. That's the right sort of revenge.

home game with whom? And how does that compare with the revenue share of a prime time game on NBC. And how does that

Hopefully this put the nail in the coffin for those who were 2nd to 3rd level ND fans. To heck with them

Are we still glad if it’s our 3rd loss of 3?

Agreed this is the way to go, but it shouldn’t happen again
