UConn Basketball 2023-2024 Schedule (*LEAKS*)

[MrSec224]

I mean it can't take more than a few days to decide what venue the games are at...right?

They are supposedly waiting on the conference to announce tip times. Which makes no sense since the conference doesnt control the OOC tip times.

That being said, conference had tip times announced last year when schedule came out so no clue what they are waiting on

I don't know for sure, but I would guess that the Wolfpack pays significantly less for the use of the XL than Connecticut does.

As far as I am aware the CDRA has never shown a profit in any venture it was involved in. That's a pretty telling indictment of them and probably the most salient of the many reasons why the agency should be disbanded.

Even diverting an estimated $7 1/2 million dollars a year from the University, the CDRA's shows a multi million dollar loss every year. How is that acceptable?

That would close about 1/5th of the deficit with no apparent downside.

 

[Chief00]

Not an argument for or against the organization, but aren't they a non-profit?

Not a non profit from an employee compensation viewpoint - lol
Just a guess, their goal is to pay their politically connected employees, no money left for UConn, they don’t exactly lose sleep over.

Don't know, but it's not particularly relevant. And the point is that the organization even with the university as a captive tenant that gets charged above market lease rates, shows a multi million dollar loss every year.

Keep in mind that the deficit this year since it is no longer including replenishing the pension fund and does not include Ollies settlement will likely be about 23 million. So 7 1/2 million is roughly 1/3 of that.

Good points.

I have said it time and again: we can schedule 7 P5 opponents in our OOC. They don't all have to be bruisers, but it allows us to at least have two home OOC games against high level competition.

Example for 24/25 going forward:
1. Yale (H)- the administration needs to stop balking on this game: it's good for the state, and Yale is a solid, recognizable opponent
2. Michigan State (A)- Gavitt game (we need to be in this year every year if it is extended (looks like it will be)
3. Harvard (H)- another local game against a team people have heard of; one of the better programs traditionally in the Ivy League
4. MTE #1
5. MTE #2
6. MTE #3
7. Princeton (H)- another local Ivy team that is solid
8. Syracuse (H)- we should be playing them home and home every year
9. Boston College (A)- another local P5 and scheduling them could help us get them to schedule us again home and home in football
10. Kansas (H)- Big East/Big 12 challenge: this better be happening next year or our administration got played
11. Norfolk State (H)- if we are going to play an HBCU, we better play one of the better ones

This is a doable schedule that gives us two OOC home games: Kansas and Syracuse. One game each for the XL Center and Gampel.

#8 should have happened years ago.

I hope we get a charity scrimmage against Yale or Harvard next month. We scrimmage Harvard every year anyhow, why not invite the public and raise some money for Maui?

Just a guess, their goal is to pay their politically connected employees,

entirely possible. however, they are and have been involved in helping finance some successful ventures. Parkville Market among them.

 

[navery12]

Same night as UConn/Nova, so seems like that may be an XL game

If they moved a Wolf Pack game to accommodate UConn, what is Chief gonna do with the rest of his life?

 

[auror]

I have us at 14-1 in the first 15 with that schedule.

Nailed it.
