Because BYU even though they are Indy, they really aren’t desperate for us to add a yearly game to their schedule if it means traveling 2.6k miles - they are the #2 2016 and # 3 2017 biggest home attendance of any team in the West ( behind USC and UCLA and ahead of rest of pac 12. IF the reason they wont auto ad 6-8 games with LU is distance - this gives them a reason to play us every year - we go there 1 - they come to Dallas 1 - ( still counts as our home game ) we get exposure and ability to host all the Dallas are recruits - they get a great venue ). This is a complete gimmick for LU nothing more - I am not looking at this through lense of LU being big time - only short/mid term exposure and recruiting - IF BYU was willing to come every other year then of course it wouldn’t make sense...
