    Early Enrollee's like Football?

    Full Disclosure: I've know Pike since my sophomore year at UConn so RU has become my second favorite college hoops teams since him & Hobbs have been there. Is this just a cause of COVID with kids getting a free year this season or will this start to become the norm? As long as he's enrolled in...

    Dish drops FOX Networks

    It's one thing to screw with peoples college games but dropping broadcast FOX fooks with NFL games. Interesting to see how this ends up

    Semi OT: Wichita St

    Remember when we were told by Aresco what a great addition the Shockers were going to be to the conference? Once again, Aresco's expansion choices prove to be a joke. Instead of adding value to the basketball side of the conference they have become nothing more than another mouth to feed

    Potential New Transfer Rule

    Matt Schick‏Verified account @ESPN_Schick 4h4 hours ago I spoke w/ an NCAA official this week who was “95% certain” transfers will soon be allowed to play immediately in basketball & football. Could be a one-time freebie, plus grad transfer option. So in theory, a student-athlete could play...

    OC Hire will tell a lot about football future

    The OC hire will be an interesting look into the long-term future of UConn football. Both Pitt & Rutgers are in the market for an OC as well. We had a head start on both of them in the search but that doesn't matter. They are both P5 schools who we used to play every year. Pitt has been in the...

    Recruiting

    Since i have been a loud complainer I'll be the first to step up. As Parcells used to say "you are what your record says you are". This folks is a bad football team and it starts with a significant lack of talent. Could a better coach have coached them up & won a couple more games? Probably...

    Briles Fired

    Briles dismissed as football coach at Baylor Don't know what this means, if anything, to the whole B12 mess. Baylor sucked for so long and then became a top 10 school with Briles there. Now, they are in a very tenuous position. The wrong hire can send that whole program down the dumps

    UAB dropping football?

    Rutgers pays $900K for game in 2016

    This is a sign of things to come. A school that we all know is bleeding money buys a one & done home game for $900,000. For everyone who thinks we should demand home/home with P5 schools in the future I think this demonstrates that may not be realistic. Since we are desperate for any revenue...

    Rutty gets 2 primetime BTN games

    http://btn.com/2014/04/22/btn-releases-2014-prime-time-slate/ Delany comes out firing as he tries to get the BTN on basic in the NYC demo. I guess we'll know pretty quickly how this is going to go. Our best bet is that the reception is lukewarm. This gives Delany the hope that adding UConn can...

    B1G scheduled released thru 2019

    http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten I know schedules can be easily changed but if there was thoughts in the B1G offices about near term expansion why would they release a schedule that is 6 seasons away?

    Available $$ for new coach?

    With 2 years left PP gets $3.2-$3.3MM to go home. Beginning next year UCONN gets $2MM per from the TV contract. I know many have referred to exit fee $$ but I have never seen anything that clearly says what UCONN will get & over what period of time. I read a few months ago on an ACC board...
