Very smart move by BYU IMO.
ND's history is to schedule BYU for ND home games, and then postpone or cancel the return game, or move it to a neutral site (Las Vegas which was originally supposed to be in Provo).
I think BYU insisted that the series start in Provo, so there can be no funny business with that game, then play at ND later.
Even better for BYU, is that they have Notre Dame and all their fans selling how great BYU is to the world. They have to pump that game up. It probably will be near the end of the year, with ND telling everyone that it is should be valued like a championship game wrt the CFP.
Good for BYU.
