Since non con games are a premium this year it makes sense for us to get better opponents and BC to get winnable games because they would go 0-2 otherwise. Vandy and BYU are not good this year and USC is just ok. ASU and Baylor or Top 25 caliber.
Nobody turns down better competition assuming they're bad. And they're still probably the worst legends classic team.

I don't understand what the value is in dropping out of two games against decent competition driving distance from the school

Makes sense only if we swap with BC. Since non con games are a premium this year it makes sense for us to get better opponents and BC to get winnable games cuz they would go 0-2 otherwise. Vandy and BYU (BYU lost a ton) aren’t great and USC is so-so. Baylor and ASU are top-25.

I’m cool with this.

This opens the door to so many potential match ups in various bubbles and we could do better than Vanderbilt, USC and BYU.

So many good teams playing Thanksgiving week that we aren’t a part of yet. That’s our target.

Wild that a tweet like that would have no backing if Borges reported on it. This world is weird.

also considering the legends classic twitter tweeted this out after BYU was officially confirmed, I'd assume they got confirmation from all 4 schools about their commitment to the event.

Fwiw, Old trapper makes some phenomenal beef jerky.

We can’t swap with BC. Isn’t there a rule where you can’t face conference opponents in pre-season MTEs?

Memphis and Wichita are playing in the same MTE this year. Unusual, but not impossible.

Isn’t the Big East going league only? Maybe it’s that simple.



It might be as simple as trolling by a young fan of a competing team. If this is the case, It is interesting to note which "insiders" fell for it...especially on Twitter.
