What can I worry about now? Wait, who are we playing in 23? How can I not know. We’re doomed.

It is a message board, Mrs Benedict.

Yup, athletic dept (edit: previously) including at least 1 prior Div 1 AD and and overall size some suggest is larger than similar Div 1/FBS programs. If Loyal Dan actually has or provided substantive insights on how the signed NNBE has AD Dave swamped, concrete insights why the existing staff, scheduling software, etc are inadequate at this still early stage, etc, his repeated demands to expend additional resources on an outside consultant might hold a bit more water.

No attack here, you have used the it's a message board thingy a few times. What part of others messages are you not comprehending?
 
I think eventually that the schedule is going to be good. But it is clear they jumped at the big east without having ducks in a row with football. I don’t think the schedule will be attractive next year.

I would hope the aac teams,
Many of them, would still want to play the huskies.

UConn isn’t getting a national deal unless Fox gives us a small deal just to help out. SNY is the “network deal”. Last I heard, UConn was working on an agreement to get more PAC teams on the schedule. The lack of announcements and complete silence tell me, they haven’t decided on a path or they will announce a more complete solution when they announce future opponents. I’m hopeful that there is a substantial scheduling announcement sooner or later rather than a game here and a game there.

I was thinking Fox Sports 2. I still think they can use us to pay for some of their other properties road games, primarily the Big 12.

Your posts lead to believe your fairly plugged in to what is going on however.
 
I’m somewhat plugged in with SNY. I’ve been stating SNY would give us a football deal for like two years. They confirmed that shortly after the Big East announcement.

The PAC situation was rumored by two contacts, totally unconnected. The only reason I continue to be curious about it is the lack of news on opponents and no news from my SNY friend. If SNY is the solution, we’d probably hear about it rather quickly.

I’ve also questioned if somehow the PAC games might have value to SNY. I haven’t investigated if SNY might be able to broadcast PAC teams playing UConn. The PAC badly needs east coast exposure. Maybe, SNY can get rights to some PAC content, which would help everyone?

They (the MAC) would never recruit us in public but there was a quote in the press a month ago from the MAC's commish that absolutely suggested they were open to the idea. Adding UCONN and UMASS would bring many new eyeballs to their conference, they (and ESPN) would add us because it would be smart business.

UMass was in the MAC before they went independent. The MAC requires all sports in order to join the conference.

I don’t think they want us. But if they did, they’d change the rule and add us. It’s their rule, they can change it.
 
The football schedule and options going forward are way better than anyone is expecting and much better than this conference of misfits. The issue is not going to be the opponents it’s whether the team can actually be competitive.
 
Some of the delays have to do with sign offs. But the biggest issue is fitting the whole schedule together and until each weekend is figured out, that is the hold up. We can announce games and years but not exactly when at this moment.

50 years ago, Tulane left the SEC.

I hope UConn leaving the AAC isn't compared to that someday.
 
Next year will be the issue scheduling wise but after that I feel good and think the quality will be solid
Have a little faith husky nation
 
What it’s going to take is orchestrating 3-4 team swaps of dates to open games up for us. We may actually just play out our AAC schedule as all those schools will need a game.

After today they aren’t planning on anything other than disbanding.

Hope you lost your shirt and maybe this will keep you and the other naysayers quiet till at least Indiana game in two weeks, but probably not
 
My guess is a deal with ESPN/SNY.

SNY produces the games and shows them on SNY.

ESPN picks up those broadcasts and streams them on ESPN3 with options to flex games on ESPN networks if they play a P5 opponent.
