  1. This is ruining and will be the nail in the coffin for college football. CFB is cannibalizing itself out of greed. Because they have a financial interest in said "homophobic school in Utah" in the form of a television contract? FYI, said "homophobic school" employs several gay and lesbian professors who are well established in their programs. Also, Steve Young and his wife are big supporters of LGBTQ rights and equality.
  2. This is only if we have a season to begin with. We probably won't even have a season, making this all a moot point.
  3. I can guarantee you that if we even have a season, ESPN will be pulling the strings with the Big 12 or another P5 conference to fit us in in order to replace the five games we had scheduled (UU, Mich St, ASU, Minnesota, Mizzou, and Stanford (and Boise State if the MWC decides to follow suit as well)) because they have a financial stake with regard to their content, esp in the Saturday evening time slot.
  4. Not with ESPN as a partner, they have a financial interest at stake.
  5. If they were actually concerned about the health and safety of their athletes, employees and fans then they wouldn't have any games. They are just using the COVID as a convenient cover to further bury non-P5 programs and take a bigger share of the pie for themselves. Greedy fuckers.
  6. Fuck the Pac 12, what does it matter if the games are conference or non-conference, you still are playing a high-contact sport in a stadium filled with people. Covid doesn't follow NCAA and Pac 12 guidelines but the simple principles of biology.
  7. All except maybe a dozen or so (including BYU) who are operating in the black financially.
  8. Him and David Boren prefer lemon parties to fancy galas.
  9. Are you surprised? It's Oklahoma, they've never had their shit together.
  10. BYU will be fine because we are self-funded (with funding of programs for years on out) and one of a handful of programs operating in the black financially. But this could really shake things up with regard to realignment as many P5s and all of the G5s take big financial hits to their programs.
  11. Then they would lose all credibility to their claim of putting safety first because playing conference games would be no different then playing non-conference games. Either play all or cancel the season. Or pay up your buyouts.
  12. If the Pac 12 goes that same route then yes. This was likely our best shot at Utah this season with all of their losses so this sucks double.
  13. This is the most likely scenario. I've already resigned myself to the fact that we very likely won't have football of any kind in 2020.
  14. They owe BYU a return game and this will eliminate any excuses they have for not living up to their end of the contract agreement. We'll l have options, though losing games to Michigan St and Minnesota sucks. ESPN doesn't want to lose content and the revenue it generates, so they'll come to bat for BYU in this instance to protect its content. Big 12 could easily incorporate BYU and Notre Dame (and another team if they play ACC games) to get to a 10 game schedule
  15. Now we are just waiting on word as to whether they will allow fans into the stadiums for the first games or if they'll start off playing in empty stadiums with only players.
  16. Keep in mind that these pics make it look like you are further away (and the field bigger and more spread out) then you really are. They don't really do the views justice. You are so close to and on top of the field and in particular, the infield. Moreso then any baseball stadium I've been to.
