I like the schedule for a few reasons:

1. We don’t know what COVID will be like 2-6 months from now so who knows if attendance will happen. I think it will, but you never know. Don’t know if it’s worth risking the economic benefit of a huge home game when attendance is uncertain.
2. Other side of COVID: if the games are open to the public, every seat is going to be filled no matter what we play.
3. We had a bad offense with a dynamic lottery pick. We need games to figure out the go to guys and overall flow of the offense while getting the freshmen involved. Crap teams provide that.
4. Schedule balancing. We still have to return the Florida game and are starting the BE/B12 on the road. UConn was looking for a home game this year and then a return game 2 years from now, which obviously nobody wanted. To get a big time home game this year we would’ve had an unbalanced schedule somewhere else down the line, most likely next year. Think you see a B12 home game and @Florida next year.

Also, Benedict does not handle basketball scheduling.
