If UC is happy with an NY6 game then sure, there's no reason to schedule BYU, as that can only hurt.

But if a better chance at the playoffs is the goal, then scheduling BYU could be very helpful.

Helpful? Coming from you I guess that is a step forward. Now tell us, does UC have any real chance at a playoff, with the money involved. If not, BYU just has to deal with it.

"Coming from me"? WTF? I think UC has a non-trivial chance to make the playoffs. It's not a good chance, not as high as some models say, but an undefeated UC maybe has a 15% chance to get in. That's something.

And a win over a top-10 BYU would boost that higher.
