2024 Scheduling opportunities??????

I will update this as we go but Akron no longer has openings for 2024 or 2025. SDSU and NIU also filled their 2025 schedules.

MAC teams available in 24/25: Kent State, CMU; Kent State, Miami (OH), Ohio, CMU, EMU
MW teams available in 24/25: Air Force, Utah State; Air Force, Utah State, Hawaii, Nevada, UNLV

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.

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.
 
To put it into perspective, we have the same number of tournament wins as Rutgers since our last title.

Rumors that Kennesaw State may be joining the C-USA. I know the home schedule for 2024 kinda stinks, and this isn’t quite a ticket pusher, but a home and home could get us into Georgia for recruiting

plus, Kennesaw State is no slouch... That'd be a competitive game...

Hawaii all day long....
 
Air Force is out for 2025.

MW teams left for 24/25: Air Force, Utah State; Utah State, Hawaii, Nevada, UNLV

Kennesaw State just joined the FBS club ten seconds ago. Odds we book a H&H with them to fill in their wide open schedule in the next 6 months? I think its pretty high if they will take a November road date. We struggle to book Oct/Nov home dates.

Only if the UCONN home games in the series are at UCONN, not NJ, NY or MA as Notre Dame would request.

UCONN doesn't need to belittle itself and and just do what Notre Dame wants, especially after UCONN did not get a return game the last time they played ND.

Yeah! CCSU at the Rent vs Notre Dame at MetLife Stadium is a much better option.
 
For 2024 Rice has a road game to fill so my money is they come to the Rent for us going there in 2023 and then fill last spot with a P5 road game, hopefully Notre Dame.

Rice already agreed to the return game in 2028
 
Wisconsin and MTSU are no longer options for 2025.
 
Only Rutgers, Penn State, and Northwestern in have openings in 2025 among B1G schools.

Northwestern would be an interesting opponent

Northwestern is perfect in my book. Let’s get that H and H!

It wouldn’t take much to add a little juice to the next 5 or 6 years ahead. Really just two or three more P5 H & H matches and the schedule is in good shape. Seems CRA and the possibility of narrowing OOC games has slowed the discussions.

I would love to get Notre Dame on the 2024 schedule. Even if it's just a one off at their stadium. They have an opening for their senior day game in November. It would be a nice payday as well.

Absolutely an enticing H&A opportunity from UConn's perspective, and maybe Northwestern for their many northeast alumni in years they aren't scheduled to play in Joisey or State College.

While NU's building its new downsized 35K stadium (post-'23 season-'25), UConn can host a '24 or '25 game and return the favor to open the new Ryan Field in '26. Evanston, nice 'burb, and great opportunity for anyone who has never visited Chicago.
 
The Mistake at the Landing Field is DEAD. No school, unless absolutely HURTING for a game would play in that disaster.
Build the On Campus Stadium YESTERDAY, because the state is not investing "Not One Dime" in that Disaster at the Landing Strip !!!!!
