    Maybe. But Cam Rising would be a Senior that year.

    We have no idea what will play out in 2022. Just as we have no idea how the rest of 2019 will play out.

  Very cool. Here’s the article, if anyone wants to check it out.
  
  The best part:
  
  What that means for the future schedule is that Utah has dropped the BYU game from the out-of-conference slate in 2022 in order to take on this series.

      Even better would be if the PAC went to 8 conference games.

        8 conference games. What game does Utah for example drop?
        
        A South opponent? Lose the So Cal trip some years?
        
        Another North? Play only 3 any given year?
        
        How does 8 game schedule affect the four Cal schools, who insist they play each other each year?
        
        Do rivals skip playing each other some seasons? No Apple Cup, ASU vs Zona?
        
        I see eight conference games as at least problematic if not disrupting to the point the conference reforms, eliminating schools.
        
        I’d like to see a workable 8 game proposal, not just out of hand advocation.

        What needs to happen is the California schools schedule one of the opposite division teams as a non-conference opponent if they want to play them every year. The game does not count for their conference record. Everyone else plays only 3 inter-divisional games, and the teams rotate… As I see it already, the PAC gives an unfair advantage to California schools by letting them skip out on UW, WSU, ORE, UT, ASU, UoA more frequently then the non-Cali schools.

        It’s not actually that complicated. You play everyone in your division and 3 from the other instead of 4. The California schools might present a problem, but they might change their mind now that the big money comes from the playoff. The playoff wasn’t a thing when they said they had to play each other every year.

        It’s not complicated from a logistical standpoint. It’s complicated from a political standpoint.
        
        There is no buy-in from Northern teams for this scenario. They made that clear from the outset. Likewise, the Cal teams won’t capitulate on playing each other. That would be a political quagmire. Much like the pressure for Utah to play BYU.

        Obviously, we’d have to drop a North opponent. Otherwise, there would be a risk of a tie with no logical tie-breakers in either division for the right to play in the CCG.

    Looks like we will be dropping the 2023 BYU game as well. I hope that this is a trend that will continue.

      The dates are already penciled in for BYU, so… Probably not at this late date.

  I suppose there’s a chance they buy out one of the cupcake games instead of cancelling BYU. However, my guess is that they’d like to keep those in order to have OOC games against a tough P5, a mid-tier G5, and then a cupcake.
  
  Although I suppose BYU fits in that G5 category at this point

    Would be quite surprised if we can get BYU of the schedule. More likely we reschedule the SUU and Weber games.

      That’s what I would expect. ~~I’m not sure on what real authority that Bartle can claim that it’s BYU that Utah gets rid of.~~ I’m sure that after the NIU & Idaho State games, Harlan saw that the because of crappy attendance of hosting an FCS school, it isn’t worth the lost revenue and payout to have a cupcake.
      
      Edit: This is the important part from the article, I guess we have to trust his ‘sources’.
      
      According to sources, in order to move off of the BYU games in 2022 and 2023, the series agreement would be extended two years, thus resuming in 2024 and carrying on through the 2028 season.

        Yep – the Trib is reporting this as well. The 2022 and 2023 games for BYU will essentially be postponed to 2024 and 2025 since the current contract only goes through 2023.

        BYU was already on the schedule through 2025. Guess they could move 2022-23 up to 2026-27.

        That’s not what the aritcle in the Trib is saying. It notes that Harlan just in January argreed to a two-year extension for game in Provo in 2023 and SLC in 2024. It says nothing about them being on in 2025. This is from a report from 247:
        
        According to sources, in order to move off of the BYU games in 2022 and 2023, the series agreement would be extended two years, thus resuming in 2024 and carrying on through the 2028 season.

        You’re misunderstanding. Before the UF scheduling, Utah only had contract with BYU through ’24. They moved those two games from the UF years to ’25/’26, then added two more seasons on for ’27,’28

        My error. Future schedules on the Utahutes site has had it through 2024 (not 2025).
        
        Still I imagine there will be a lot of p**sing and moaning on cougarboard.
        
        But it is good that we’re starting to get some Power 5 games in the works.

        The Legislature is just going to have to accept these hiatuses for us to play with the big boys. It’s the State’s flagship University, and they need to be helping to promote it, even through sports.
