The 2019 game @ Virginia has moved to 2021 and will be played in Provo. The 2023 game scheduled @ BYU will be played in Charlottesville. Another game has been added and will be in Provo in 2025.

Sorry--had to change my original post. I got a little excited before realizing the game MOVED from 2019 to 2021. So now the future games are 2021 @ Provo, 2023 @ Virginia, and 2025 @ Provo--as compensation for moving the 2019 game.

So Virginia gave us a 2 for 1 in our favor as a "thank you" for us sending Bronco over? That was nice!

Wow. Thank you Bronco?

BYU is essentially getting everything they could ever want out of this series.

[Fido]

Yes! mid-late season games, guarantees, high buyouts, games in our stadium.....Holmoe deserves a high five here.

Can we get more games from them? How about a 20 year deal?

So does this mean that Bronco will be gone by 2021? I remember him being asked about it and him making some comment about moving the series until after he was done coaching there.

It is also rumored that the renegotiation had to do with the coaching buyout of Bronco--perhaps some game concessions instead of cash concessions.

Bronco said he hoped he wouldn't have to coach against BYU, not that he wouldn't. It will be interesting to see if he's still there or not by that time.
