Wyoming Gives up Home Game to Travel to CSU for 2026 Opener

HR_Poke said:
Direct response I just got from Mr Burman...


We still have lots of pieces moving in our future schedules. The schedule for 26, 27, 28, 29 are all in flux due to many schools making changes. I believe we will end up in a good place. Ideally we like six home games and six road games. 7th home games have not been as financially beneficial as one may think because our fan base travels so far they done generally attend all seven games. We will likely have more to announce in the coming weeks/months. Thanks

I know you are just posting Burman's reply to you, but I don't understand the preference for only six home games.

Why does he ideally like six home games and six away games? I can't imagine there are many teams out there who would choose to give up a 7th home game because they prefer to only have six home games. That is some very bizarre thinking.

I don’t understand. The details are all public. We gave up our home game to go to 6 home games. Colorado State traded out a road at Indiana to move from 6 home games to 7 home games next year (assuming PAC conference scheduling makes normal sense). CSU has other OOC home games against BYU and Southern Utah giving them 3 OOC home games.

Do they need another ooc since they only have 4 ooc? 7 pac games. 4 ooc is 11. With only 8 teams, maybe they're getting 3 home pac teams and 4 away.

Getting another home game 1) makes it easier to schedule another ooc game if they need it because they can go on the road 2) balances their schedule with 6 home and 6 away if they have 3 home ooc and 3 home pac + 4 away pac and 2 away ooc (assuming they need to schedule another team)?

Two years ago. And the AD raved about setting an all-time attendance record.

Interesting. I looked back and we ended with HI. It was the lowest attended game, BUT based on attendance near that date every year, it was directly in line with all other late Nov games. I see no evidence to support that claim by TB.

PAC announced recently through media that it will play 7 conference games in 2026 but will also have a conference scheduling agreement with another conference (MAC or Sun Belt or CUSA likely) to give each team 4 home games and 4 road games.

Yes. That the major problem here. We are moving from 7 to 6 home games. But we are giving up a Sep 5 OOC home game and keeping a miserable Nov 28 OOC home game. This isn’t defensible from a likely revenue standpoint. It’s BS.

It's still possible that to facilitate their scheduling agreement, csu is now able to play a road game.

Possible. We'll know when they announce their final schedule. If they're away for their other ooc, I'll wonder if this was helping out csu?

I'm not sure on buying the scared to play UNT narrative. I'd like to know the real motivations behind this.

Well sure glad Wyoming schedules games now to facilitate CSU. They have show themselves to be nothing but the the biggest backstabber to Wyoming.
