Game Week - UConn v. #21 USF *CANCELLED*

... and if you already bought tickets to that game through Fenway Gridiron Series site?

Agree w/ @whaler11 - refund or option to use towards another UConn sport tickets this year but it has to be a choice.

Refund. Period.

In all seriousness, I think money back should be the first option. But I wasn't kidding when I said that I would be willing to take greater than face value in other sports. Preferably men's bball, but I really would accept some other sports as well...

I just saw that you added that to your quote, too. Great minds think alike. Mediocre minds also think alike...

It shouldn't even be legal for there to be anything but a refund.

 

[shizzle787]

It shouldn't even be legal for there to be anything but a refund.

And that should include all fees.

 

[HuskyPete]

Letting things sink in, first now we lost out on two home games (USF and BC Fenway) I love the tailgating scene at UConn and missing out on what should of been two home games is not sitting to well right now.

UConn vs USF December 2, 2017 at the rent for the AAC championship, free tickets lol!!!

We're gonna give a refund, and make USF pay for it!

 

[UConnDan97]

UConn: "Dan, we're willing to give you your money back. Or we could give you greater than face value in other sports tickets. Your call."

Me: "Illegal!!!"

 

[BlueDogs]

I hope they find an opponent on an open date. I still think this was totally unnecessary. USF had the means and ability to get here and it should be a forfeit. This is BS.

Yeah you are the one guy on the planet who wants an extra $20 worth of field hockey vouchers.

I'm talking about general consumer protection laws.

And I don't even care about me. I don't even know how much my tickets cost on a per game basis. I complain about the policies because I have a better than rudimentary understanding of business.

Settle down.

I, and others, have already said that money back should be offered first. But it could also be a way to make some folks happy to offer a 2-pack men's bball or something and increase attendance at the same time.

Take a deep breath for a moment. We're all disappointed the game is not happening. Give Benedict a chance to make us whole before you crucify him. If he doesn't, I'll join you with a pitchfork...

I don't blame Benedict for any of this and I totally expect he will do the right thing.

This debacle is 100% on the AAC for not ruling this a forfeit.

The AAC just saw Whaler's most recent post. They now understand that he ain't playin'...

Games won't be moved around for this.

Okay then...

this is the AAC treating UConn as a doormat. If I'm the athletic department I'm ripping Aresco a new one in private.

I think he's referring to the fact that it's early the season and who knows what other "acts of god" may arise.

 

[UConnDan97]

The league must realize that an undefeated USF team is still in danger of being left out of the playoffs at 11-0.

Make it happen, AAC...

Classic line from them.

Maybe USF and UConn will find themselves in the parking lot of Windham Tech on Thanksgiving and play a 2 hand touch game.

Not just playoffs, but a NY6 bowl.

 

[shizzle787]

Okay then...

This is actually plausible, but Houston and ECU would have to help out.

 

[UConnDan97]

If anyone could understand, Houston can...

 

[shizzle787]

If anyone could understand, Houston can...

If we were to get ECU week 4, we could actually start 4-0.

 

[BugsyCT]

Interesting. It's doable, but I guess it depends on how much it's worth to the league to keep this game.
