Non-Conference Scheduling rumors

[YOhio]

The weekend before Thanksgiving, but still a nice late season game. Thanksgiving falls on the 4th Thursday of November, so November 23rd is before that.

Yes, I know Thanksgiving is the 4th Thursday, it's also usually around the 24th and I didn't actually check the calendar and count the Thursdays. So pardon the gaffe.

Somebody posted a copy of the BYU-Wisconsin contract online. Apparently it's a one-and-done, with BYU netting a cool mil in lieu of a game in Provo.

Here is the link to the contract. I'm sure Ute fans will enjoy reading it.

The million dollars is what BYU gets for going to Madison, not for waiving a return game to Provo. Also note this document dates back to late last year and was signed in April. I don't see any reason to believe there won't be a return trip based on this document and based on comments from BYU and Wisconsin.

I always assumed that 1-1 setups didn't include any payouts at all. It makes no sense for Wisconsin to pay a million so then byu can pay them, what, another million a year later? Doesn't make much sense to me to have a payout. I suppose the big question is how certain can we be that this is the actual existing contract and it wasn't superseded by a subsequent contract that is a true 1-1? Internet postings can be pretty suspicious at times.

They generally don't. Certainly not for a million. It may turn into a two-for-one, I guess.

who is going to be our qb for 2013?

My money's on Hill.

I think its a friendship test by Wisconsin. They want to see some of this A+ fan behavior BYU for which is so well known before they come agree to come to Provo.

I agree. I see this as some sort of Texas agreement that will end up being a 2-1. Not great.

If we start getting our 2-1s with teams like Wisconsin in Oct/Nov and can shift the crap games to September, I'd still see it as a positive step.

It's definitely a positive step. Hopefully with some winning we can eventually move beyond it.

I'm curious to know who posted this contract? I assume it is from Wisconsin as they are a state school and subject to the FOIA. Is someone from Wisconsin bugged by this or something?
