BYU 2026 season tickets sold out before reaching general public selection. To be eligible to buy season tickets, you had to donate to the Cougar Club(equivalent of the Rockne Athletics Fund). This comes after large price increases in season tickets year over year. And people wonder why teams still go out of their way to schedule Notre Dame.

So true. I‘ve purchased season tickets of an opponent just to get ND tickets. I sold the other games for whatever I could get b/c the overall savings for the ND ticket was better than buying the ticket on the resale market.

BYU sold out its tickets last season as well. I don't think this is just an ND effect. BYU fans are some of the most passionate in the country. (Also, some of the most delusional, but that's another discussion.)

Now, getting a ticket to the ND game is going to cost you double or triple the normal price of a ticket. And that is directly related to why ND will always be desirable.

Will be a difficult game to get into as an ND fan

I think this game is going to be disgustingly expensive. BYU has many alums that do very well and this is essentially their super bowl with a team with high expectations.

Haven’t we struggled to sell out our own stadium?

For a ranked, pseudo rivalry game? Not that I’m aware of

To me its kind of amazing ND has sold out for so long given tiny campus that's not easy to get to flight wise. And lackluster, non-serious commitment or performance up until Freeman. I know BK got us to the title once but I think support wise, people around the program probably felt that was a unicorn year.

Freeman seems to have the admin committed and eventually if not now the people will feel it.

I just know that I get offered tickets every year, including USC once, from Vet Tix.

Probably an allotment they are given/donated.

BYU set season ticket records last year. ND is not driving their season ticket sales. Winning is.

I'm ready to get ripped off.

 

[bkess8]

Planning on going to the game, just hoping not to get ripped off too bad!

With Kingston gone, their 1-dimensional offense has become a .5-dimensional offense. With the departure of thier best recievers, they are going to need the new guys, including the freshmen Pula twins, to become threats. I dont think they will get through Arizona, TCU, and Iowa State unscathed. probably looking at a 20-unranked BYU team when we play, which is unfortunate for SOS.

Just jam the receivers, stack the box, and spy Bachmeier. It was always going to be an easy game imo. But now, it's becoming dangerously close to 4+ score blowout territory.

Arizona @ home, nah ... BYU wins. At TCU, meh, could be trouble. Iowa St. @ home the week before ND could be an issue for them. Where do they assign their focus ... Iowa St. or ND!? I hope to get tickets for that game in Provo and would love to see ND undefeated and the Mormons being undefeated or only one loss (helps our resume) for the Irish to kick their ass!.

We'll see.

They will have an experienced OL, so they will need them to consistently open holes for their RBs and QB to be successful. The receivers are young, and from what I hear, not physical. They are similar to many ND teams that we've had recently without the NFL OL.

The bigger reason why I gave my takes, is their defense. They lost their DC Jay Hill to Michigan, who ever since getting to BYU, fixed their defense which has carried them to success. Plus they lost a couple key guys on that side. But more importantly, their new DC does not instill confidence given his resume. His last time as a DC (co-DC), was at Virginia while they were winning/losing games 56 to 50.

-11.5 on DraftKings

Leave.
No.

These Mormons need to learn to keep our names out of their mouths.

Big12 paper Tigers. I saw them struggle for a half against UCF last year before getting it together. I saw them get taken to the woodshed both time they played the only "elite" team they played, TTU. Nd is going to roll these guys. Take ND and the points.

Small nitpick here- take the points means bet the underdog. You'd be giving the points if you bet ND here.

 

[jerseyborn1971]

Yeah, I meant give the points.

Notable. He would be their #1 WR. As we saw with Retzlaff, this dismissal does not necessarily mean anything for his BYU status.

 

[lefty5258]

he never denied having sex, which is still the issue that caused his dismissal from the team.

Retzlaff, in a similar situation last year, was only going to get a 2 game suspension. Seems my alma mater has lightened their stance on that part of the honor code, and no longer is kicking students out for it.

That being said, he was expelled from the school, unlike Retzlaff, and I dont know the process of getting him back in or if they would let him.

He's been working out with a receiver coach that uses BYUs facilities with other BYU receivers this week. So he could come back.

Based on the article, seems like charges could be refiled at some point in the future as the victim was not ready to testify in September, I kinda doubt BYU would take him back.

Byu is a shady school and fully believe they would look the other way and let him back

That's an interesting take. I'd be curious why you would think that? They were sanctioned not long ago because they self reported to the NCAA just like ND. although, instead of cheaters, it was a booster gifting Disney trips to basketball players, I think.

But I'm truly curious why you have that view.
