A game against Idaho St would be brutal, but I'm finding it difficult to criticize BYU on this point until I can see a list of the teams out there looking to fill a game on their schedule next year and which of those teams is willing to come to Provo.
Am I off base on this? For all I know, Idaho St is literally the ONLY option. |

Supposedly on Wrubell's latest blog he said that expect the announcement to come soon within days....maybe even hours, and to expect to be an FBS team like Bronco said it would be.
He also said that BYU tried to get D-I teams to schedule for the first game. Idaho State has a TBA on their opening date......my guess is they'll jump on the bus ride from Pocatello and that's who it'll be.

It's not just finding someone with an opening, it's finding someone with an opening on opening day.

I DO have a problem with Bronco's newly stated philosophy. Which is that he plans on seeking out these 1aa games for future schedules even when there are better options available. He calls it balance but it is actually just the opposite. It is planned schedule imbalance and the wussification of BYU football. It is hard to be a fan of a wuss. |

Here's the link. Sounds like it might be North Dakota State. Seriously.
