UH and BYU signed an agreement to try to play each other in football through 2020

HSA Note: "The University of Hawaii and Brigham Young University signed an agreement last week intended to keep them playing each other in football almost annually through 2020. The three-page document is sprinkled with contingencies and the kinds of terms — "tentative" and "preferred" — you don't usually find in such contracts and, at one point, says they will meet "in either 2014 or '16." "


About how both UH and BYU want to schedule each other, UH associate AD Carl Clapp said:
"These games are something we really wanted, and so did they." (HSA)


HSA Note: "The problem when the Mountain West invited UH was that nobody was sure whether the MWC would be playing an eight- or nine-game schedule beginning in 2014. That won't be decided until next month — at the earliest— when the Board of Directors is scheduled to meet. If it is a nine-game schedule some years, such as '14, UH would already be fully booked. In addition there are some years, even with openings, UH could end up with seven road games and just six home games. Or, by MWC mandate, be required to keep certain months exclusively for MWC scheduling."


About how the effort they putting into scheduling BYU will be worth it, Clapp said:
"Nothing was easy. But it will be worth it." (HSA)
