Not a chance. Why do you think UConn has been in the football wilderness for so long?
As the losses mount, some bizarre behavior from Edsall

I will go on record now, that is a bad move and poor for the fans.
You are looking at 6 home games in 2020, and two are fcs? You can go watch fcs at CCSU or sacred heart if you want.
That is not serving your fans. And I don’t want to hear the “well it is the best we could do in the circumstances.” No one told you to quit the AAC.

Played in high school and Marine Corp. Never met a coach who wasn't so absorbed with football that the outside world existed only to eat and sleep. Some hide it better than others but that's the world they live in.

Wow, bold position John.
Who would be happy about more than one FCS game, answer? No one...except perhaps @Pudge who dreams of a Yankee conf rebirth.
Well. More snotty commentary from youthful snark
2020 - we should wait until Benedict is fully under contract. It’s what I would do. But you - Exit 4 - are more outfront than anyone: This is a extraordinarily hard schedule to pull together in 14 months. (Now near 10). You look at this Nationally. And you realize the options aren’t good.
Army plays 2 FCS. So there’s one thought. UMass had about 2 years before they had to create a 12 game schedule on the fly.
My POV - as we see Delaware & Towson play FBS to tough finishes - is let’s have 12 competitive games in 2020. I frankly have little interest in two NM State games or South Alabama or Texas State v a regionally solid FCS. It’s not heartburn I get.

Lol. I think some people will take a look at it and say one year is fine because hoops is in Big East. I can’t ask my season ticket holders to pay for 2 FCS games.

Season ticket holders on your mind? Ha - the swing on ticket ticket holders will be whether or not we manage to get to a three win season rather than schedule quality. Anything short of three wins and the season ticket base shrinks again in 2020 regardless of the schedule quality.

I hope you're right Pudge, and you very well may be.
Edsall is quirky and show me a coach who isn't. They live in a fishbowl with 20 year olds throwing their careers around. Sounds a bit stressful to me.

UConn has to keep the long-term goal of getting into the ACC or B10 in mind. It cannot play a Central CT type schedule even in the first year. It is going to be hard as an independent -- no question about it. But as the team continues to improve -- which has already begun -- we can reach to the top levels of competition again.

Randy is a good and decent guy who with UConn’s exit from the AAC now finds himself in an impossible situation of attempting to be competitive as a football Independent.
It is only a matter of time before UConn stops the financial losses and moves its football to FCS.
