I could live with a 6 game series where each team gets 2 home games & the other two are split between the Meadowlands & the Razor with each team getting 50% of the ticket allotment. It's fair,but the Leprechauns would never agree to it.
I'm not badly overrating our basketball value as compared to football (there is no financial comparison/football is typically 4 times as valuable when talking about the top of P5). But Notre Dame isn't your typical top-of-P5 school. They are motivated by more than money. When we were both in the Big East and when the women's programs kept meeting in the Final Four there was no other match-up worth more in women's basketball. Disagree that ND could just roll out of bed and find more valuable and important matchups than UConn. Think of a UConn/ND basketball doubleheader at MSG as an example. Money, recruiting, exposure, tri-state alumni relations, etc. Lots of benefits.
I kind of agree. We could all fuss about the spread of where the games would be played, but why not take on a scheduling mentality of "we'll play anyone anywhere ". Hell, perhaps our program's greatest moment was going into South Bend and upsetting the Irish.
I for one would take these agreements with anyone in the top 10 if it gets us games against them. It’s money for the program and a good recruiting tool for borderline P5 kids that these big games are played yearly for exposure. I know it’s been mentioned before but even the Yale Bowl would be a cool “neutral site” against teams with longstanding football tradition if it could be agreed to
Yeah but they could get the same thing playing any name program. And I know it is painful to hear but UConn isn’t a major basketball power anymore. We have been to the dance 3 times since the last title and have won fewer games than Loyola of Chicago, or St Peters or any team that actually won a game. We are fast becoming Indiana or St John’s. Nobody fears playing UConn in 2022.
Agree - UConn could have great scheduling with a bunch of programs other than ND. Totally disagree we are fast becoming Indiana or St. John's - that's a big stretch of reality on your part.
Yes, we have one tourney win since our fourth and latest national title (all in the last 22 seasons). Carry on.
plus, Kennesaw State is no slouch... That'd be a competitive game...
Hawaii all day long....
The advantage to Hawaii is that we would get a 13th game if we play them on the road.

No. Home and home only with Rutgers. If Temple can get one, so can we.
This fanbase needs a Las Vegas game. Lets go H&H with UNLV. Things could get crazy.
Who knows but anytime, any place - we'll show up, take your money, and beat ya.
Yeah! CCSU at the Rent vs Notre Dame at MetLife Stadium is a much better option.
Rice already agreed to the return game in 2028
Thanks for pointing that out, also realized don't have a FCS team on schedule yet for 24, so that at home and P5 on the road to close out the schedule.
