Conf USA in Talks with UConn, Liberty, NMSU

[WestHartHusk]

I would not hate this move

I won't give you a thumbs down. But I really want to.

 

[JohnFSilver]

I don't even know what to say. they don't need a conference. This is stupid.

I said earlier today in another thread this school has made every wrong decision in football ever since the Fiesta Bowl. This would be in line with that decision making.

I really, really hope it's just a scheduling agreement like ND has with the ACC

 

[Ajs120102]

Only rationale is that 2 FBS indies are gunna jump shit to CUSA which will further shrink scheduling games. That’s all I got

This season we have one P5 home game. A good Purdue team on a beautiful day. The "announced" crowd was 14,000 with a good number of Purdue fans in the house.

Where was the extra support for the P5 home game everyone claims to be pumped for? It was all talk.

This some kind of sick joke? We have a decent tv deal and good future schedules. Makes zero sense. Please no Dave.

 

[Buffett10]

Zero chance this source is credible at all.

Wait til you see us play WKU. Oh wait, even they are leaving that conference.

 

[HeGotGame]

That CUSA would consider Liberty at this point shows how low they are. We have to be getting punked.

If I am CUSA, or any conference, I would rather have Liberty football over UConn football, and it is not close.

 

[UConnJim]

NOOOOO!!!!

 

[ThabeetDown]

Maybe it was a typo and they meant UMass haha

 

[The Viking]

How many years out do we have a schedule already filled? Is Benedict having a tougher time scheduling than we thought and feels the need for a conference for help?
This seems so odd.

 

[gampelcrazies]

Wonder if CBS isn't renewing us after 2023

 

[How Sway?!]

Yeah but they are not just getting Liberty football, they are getting the whole university and all that it entails.

The same die-hards will show up for conference games and more will come if we have a good team.

I am starting to question if this is true. UConn would only consider to join a conference if we are having issues in certain areas right now. I don’t see why we need to join a low ball conference like C-USA

Hate to say it I would show up to a UConn football game doesn’t matter who we play. I’ll be there.

 

[CallMeBruce]

I don't know who Vannini's source is, but this is definitely not happening.

 

[UConnMike04]

Only reason I can think is extra $, CBS may have said they’re pulling the plug after 2023 and scheduling may be drying up with more indy’s joining. Disaster.

I'm with you. Hopefully this wakes up the MAC and they offer us and UMASS football only invitations. I've been saying for a while that would be a fun northeastern league for us as we bide our time waiting for a P5 invite.

 

[Dooooooomed]

Ima lose my **** if this is true.

 

[History Geek]

AD Dave is going to have to really spin this for me in order to get on board. My initial reaction is this.

 

[WestHartHusk]

No MAC either. Lord.

 

[Purple Stein]

This is not good for the brand.

I would LOVE to join the MAC

 

[gampelcrazies]

What brand?

 

[John]

What brand?

The University of Connecticut brand. You must be new here.

The MAC is a way better option.
