Future Scheduling Nugget

[BFieldHusky]

Benedict also said he was working on a future deal that would have UConn playing a basketball game on a Friday and a football game the next day in New York in a discussion that referenced Madison Square Garden and Yankee Stadium. UConn played Army at Yankee Stadium in 2014.

Update: UConn football traveling to Ole Miss, Virginia next season

UConn won’t be in a football conference in 2020, but the Huskies will be playing at least four games against teams from the so-called “Power 5” — if not more

That would be pretty sweet. Would like to see a WBB/MBB double header (does Fox do a "Gameday?") with Baylor/Stanford/ND/Oregon in the future as well

Friday night game at MSG would be excellent!

Friday night game at MSG would be excellent!

For sure. We always seem to play there on Tuesday. Hopefully we’ll be playing there on Saturday a lot starting next year

6:00 pm Friday UConn-ND WBB
9:00 pm Friday UConn-ND MBB
Noon Saturday UConn-ND MHOC
7:00 pm Saturday UConn-ND CFB

Make it happen Dave.

Contract it for home & away, flip the MHOC & CFB start times and put the bball on Sunday. I would plan a weekend in South Bend every other year & one in Hartford for this

Cool.

Notre Dame football isn't coming to Hartford, unfortunately

 

[AuRevoirAAC]

If we truly want to claim NYC as our own, this is the type of stuff we need. Excellent idea by Benedict and his team!

 

[McLovin]

Duke, Michigan State and Syracuse would be three good options if this falls through with ND.

The idea was for NYC at Yankee Stadium.

I believe there was a quote tossed in that was a program who would “never come to CT.” Cuse and Duke have both the played football in CT and will in will in the future. Oddly we’ve never actually had a h/h in hoop with Duke so that’s a possibility. MSU is interesting.

Here’s a thought: is this finally our Tennessee series?

Tennessee series canceled - turned into a buy-game. I believe we're at Tenn in 2026.

But I would think it's going to to be name program.

 

[uconngb]

Cool.

I know, right?

 

[Dooooooomed]

He said "a big big brand" might be interested in "coming up here."

Doesn't really make sense for a Midwest school to come up to NY. I'm guessing it's an SEC school.

My liver just quivered.....I’m in!

 

[uconnbill]

Just think if UConn had kept the series with Notre Dame when they were talking a ten game series but people had a fit they wanted to play in Foxboro or NYC for our home games. Who wouldn't take that now, I know I would.
Yankees stadium playing Notre Dame would be awesome

 

[McLovin]

Correct. The poster I responded to was asking for a H/H to include football games at the Rent, which will never happen.

Living in TN now, I'd be all about a basketball + football H/H series with UT

Saw a tweet where Notre Dame was referenced, including women's game, and it quoted Dave B as saying "that discussion may have already occurred". But now I can't find it.

Is this the tweet?

 

[HuskyHawk]

Is this the tweet?

Yep

 

[HooperScooper]

That quote could mean different things.

1). The conversation took place with Notre Dame.
2). The conversation took place among people in UConn's athletic department only.
3). The conversation never took place anywhere.

Yeah, but realistically, would Dave answer that way if it was #3? No. He'd say something like: "that's an interesting idea, perhaps we will look into that". So either UConn has been talking about it internally or they have been with Notre Dame.
