Hypothetical BYU scheduling as an independent

[Color Me Badd Fan]

Looks like BYU and Texas are closing to signing a home and home to be played sometime after 2011. Who knows how long out that will be.

So assuming byu goes indy in 2011 (big If I know)

Their schedule would be
@texas
@Oregon St
USU
San Jose St
Hawaii
@La Tech
@NM st
@Idaho
@Utah (or at home depending on how the schedules work)
some Div II school
Open Home
Open Home (Possible Away if Utah is a home game)

Who do they get? Army and Navy already have full schedules for 2011. ND has 11 games (6 home and 5 away) and it probably way to much money to leave on the table to not play that last game at home.

USU keeps wanting a home/home in hoops, maybe we can offer one in football. That'd really give the Beehive Boot a thrill.

Damn. i always miss the earthquakes. I was in my car about that time. I will ask Mrs. JIC if she felt anything.

It woke me up. Just moved into this roach motel and I thought it was settling or something.

As a TCU fan, at least when they play BYU, this does affect me.

How about as a Wyoming fan, at least when they play BYU?

[Moliere]

Unlike BYU fans who had no opinions on the Pac 12.

Um, when Utah left the MWC it affected us. Also, at the time there was a lot of discussion around the Big 12/Pac 10/Big 10 expansion that would directly impact BYU and the MWC.

As it sits right now, this has no direct impact on Utah. There may be an indirect impact on recruiting, but I doubt there is since I'm sure Utah is already going after those 4 and 5 star California recruits.

The difference is that Utah leaving the conference directly affected us.

This doesn't affect you. You've moved on to bigger and better things, where it would take "a lot of money" to get you to even play us, a lowly non-BCS school. Remember?

Do all teams that participate in the Pac-10 get a chance to buy Rose bowl tickets? I never knew that.

Also when BYU goes independent they will no longer be Non-BCS. Unlike Utah we do not need to ride on other teams coattails to be successful.

I didn't know there was a tier lower than that?

I'm guessing most Ute fans will be watching it from the stands.

My favorite part of this whole thing is that it has brought out the Ute fans that are clearly infatuated with everything BYU.

I think Dr. Hill has already thrown you guys a bone by saying he'd like to keep the rivalry going. Just accept it will be in September. It would be too hard to get excited for a BYU game with the Rose Bowl looming overhead.

I think Arizona and ASU's fans would like to also be watching it from the stands. 30 years, 60 chances between the two teams -- one Rose Bowl bid.

Fine, let's just call off of the whole rivalry, these games are utterly meaningless.

Agreed

Again, what does Utah have to gain by playing BYU in November? Nothing.

I'm guessing the dollar figure would have to be pretty high for the Utes to agree to taking on a non-BCS school in November.
