That's fine so long as the gigantic check clears

"Ohio State has never played UConn. The schools agreed to a buyout of $650,000 to UConn for the cancelation. If the game had been played, Ohio State would have paid UConn $1.95 million."

Ohio State scared of Jim Mora and Nick Evers

This kind of sucks. TOS will pay Grambling a mil, so money doesn't seem to be the issue.
I wonder if UConn was happy with this development.

It was the date. tOSU did not want a midyear ooc opponent.

I could see a rebuilding program wanting an easier game than the Buckeyes for an additional W.

I mean, technically they are saving 300k with this move...

I am not too upset about this. Wouldn’t be shocked that we were pretty satisfied. On the other hand, while I don’t expect Grambling to win, I wouldn’t be sad if Ohio State loses their starting quarterback for the season.

That was the only day-trippable game to me for next couple of years and was counting on attending, dammit.

Well if we wanted an easier game for a W perhaps we can schedule ND, which should be a day-tripper for ya

 

[pepband99]

This leaves us 2 games short for 25 - not ideal!

 

[phillionaire]

Ryan day is a coward!

 

[Blades]

Might as well start clearing out the schedule now for all those ACC conference games as the Huskies start the back fill, for that Clemson/Fla St. move.

Day trip is back and forth in a day. ND ain't that. It's 6 hours one way. Buffalo and Maryland are possible but both would be nine hours RT. Columbus was six RT tops.

Money aside, I don't see any benefit to playing them. Some measuring sticks are better left unused.

Iowa or Michigan State would be a more useful opponent for a re-building program. That way, it's at worst a valuable learning experience with an outside shot for better if everything goes perfectly.

Seems like UMass has to cancel one OOC game in 2025 with their move to the MAC. They're scheduled to play at Iowa on 11/15, which is open for us. Maybe we take on the Hawkeyes instead?

Ferentz ought to throw us a bone

 

[DoctorWho85]

Although I'm disappointed because I would have liked to travel to the Horseshoe. But I guess not getting blown out on national TV is a plus. They should get North Dakota or NDSU on the schedule.

Thank the lord

With our financial future very worrisome, $1.95 million would have been worth whatever after effects may have happened, which likely would have been none.

I think the money loss is a big hit.

You would think some of those’d scum bag SEC fb schools would be chomping on the bit to avenge their men’s bb teams getting their keysters kicked by Hurley & Co.

Maybe they all remember us schooling South Carolina in that bowl game
