Game Week 2025: UConn @ Boston College Eagles (Saturday 10/18/25 at Alumni Stadium @ Noon on ACCN - Audio on UConn Varsity Network & Fox Sports 97.9)

It’s a huge game for us for Pride. Win or lose our program is not going to change, but at least we can claim a New England Championship!

i'm heading out right now to game because of exactly what you're alerting to in this post. It's a big game.

The reason there are cheap tickets is that Clemson and Notre Dame fans as well as scalpers bought season tickets and are now selling the UConn tickets. Great opportunity for UConn fans to buy cheap tickets.

The reason there are cheap tickets is the team is 1-5. Clemson and ND fans reselling tickets are just meeting the market where it’s at. BC has a bad record and a fan base of punks.

You have to look at college football programs as properties. BC is an undervalued property that the B1G can buy at a reasonable price. BC has a big upside being located in a huge sports tv market. Their TV ratings are not bad for an underperforming team. Georgia Tech is a comparable property that the B1G can pick up as well. By contrast, FSU and Clemson will be very expensive properties to buy that the top B1G teams will not want to share revenue equally with and that the bottom half of teams will not want to compete with.

The B1G already has Rutgers for a northeast doormat, those top B1G teams you mention sure aren’t about to share their money with another

Remember half of those scholarships go to women. If you look at what is allowed for scholarships in each sport, BC would need to give out 400 scholarships.

85 football
13 men’s basketball
18 men’s hockey
12 baseball
Total is 128 x 2 women = 256 that leaves 16 scholarships to get to 272 and only 8 left for all of their other men’s sports.

Those are old maximum allowable numbers pre House settlement. Now schools can offer scholarships to every player on a roster up to the new roster size limit - Football is now @105, MBB @15, MHOC @26 and Baseball @34.

Let's do ourselves a favor and call it THE New England football rivalry. Put ourselves on their level and then blow past them.

Might be more UConn fans here than BC. Places is wicked sparse.
