re: BYU wants a Notre Dame-like exception as a quality non-conference game

Still, I dunno, it's a slippery slope because if you give BYU an exception, then Navy or someone may want one too.
if you give a mouse a cookie?
but seriously though, Navy is joining the American in 2015 so they aren't going to want an exception like that. I wouldn't be shocked o see Army join a conference again here pretty soon as well. That would leave just ND and BYU.

I'd probably tell them no unless they agree to an annual game vs an SEC opponent of our choice every year going forward. We could basically use them for filler when a contract breaks or something. I actually don't think they'd mind that as they are struggling for good games.
are they really though?

They consider themselves a P5 level school. Given that, looking at their '15 schedule and they only have two P5 games on it (and both are in Sept). Their '16 schedule right now has 3 (again, all in Sept). '17 is mostly filled and they again only have 2 Sept P5 games.
They need more to be taken seriously and they particularly need late season games vs good competition. The SEC can provide both because we have OOC slots in all months (most other conferences don't).
So yes, I'd say they are definitely struggling to schedule and they'd probably bend over backwards to work with the SEC.
