FWIW, Jacksonville State’s not even in the Sun Belt. If UConn was to schedule a CUSA opponent, FIU might have been helpful for recruiting purposes in FL, and convenience for SE player’s’ families, alumni and other Huskies’ fans. Inconveniently, it appears that wasn’t possible to work out.
JSU’s located in a run down crap hole of a town and a CUSA school. Other than being under 2 hours from Atlanta, so direct flights to ATL, few if any truly compelling reasons exist to visit Jacksonville for fans. Even for Civil War history buffs, far more interesting locations exist. Luckily, the 12th game’s not in Jacksonville.
