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

The ACC won't give a penny because UCONN is not in the ACC.

No point in suing the American, because whatever revenue we actually have gets paid to Aresco.
 
Does ESPN know something? Was listening to the 8 a.m. show on Sirius-XM with Taylor Zarzur (? spelling) & Gino Toretta. Taylor was expounding on the seriousness of this hurricane & reviewing the Florida area schools not playing. He stated emphatically the "Central Florida & South Florida had postponed their games, while Miami & Florida had cancelled theirs. Either he's misinformed (most likely) or there are some boiler room machinations going on behind the scenes.
 
I don't understand how you can just not make up a league game. There are so many scenarios where this blows up in the league's face. If football is that unimportant in the grand scheme why are we not 2-0 (1-0)?

crickets from AAC and UConn on how they fix this mess. I have to say, Aresco screwed this to the max with no plan and showing zero leadership.

? Maybe he's waiting till the storms pass to see how many games are affected by the aftermath? Both UCF and USF have home games scheduled next weekend that may be @ risk as well? Would seem to make sense before playing Jenga w/ future schedule changes.

No, that makes too much sense. We should all be suing Aresco, the AAC, USF, and the city of Tampa because we missed a tailgate opportunity.

Right instead we should continue to sit back and watch UConn athletics slip further into irrelevance while the conference plays favorites based off who they think is better this season. We haven't put up any fight about anything yet - why start now.

I hope we are behind the scenes. We need AD Dave to be better than what came before.

I don't think USF wants to play us. They stand to lose a whole lot more than we do. If they lost to us their post season is a game at the Liquid Plummer Bowl, and if it's close or tied at halftime, forget a top 15 ranking during the season. If it was their golf team or tennis team that had to play in CT, they would be here guaranteed.
 
My only hope is that there was an agreement made behind the scenes to a) make UConn whole financially b) have the USF home date moved to 2018 as them and Cincinnati are about the only teams that our fans even recognize c) would be nice to have an idea of how to get back our 6th home game.
 
Heard from a friend who was on a flight to ATL yesterday, ran into someone from USF. They said they offered UConn the option to play Friday night but UConn wouldn't due to TV reasons. While I believe this, he could be blowing smoke.

It's not true... It was reported by numerous outlets that UConn was willing to play Friday night but USF could not arrange the charter on Thursday.

Why would there be a board meltdown over a coach preparing for its obvious next matchup?

because he was supposed be preparing his house, family, players and players families for the monster hurricane.

The final verdict is in - they cancelled for football reasons.

Benedict should ask for a forfeit to be declared....at the very least if we tie with USF end of year we win the tiebreaker automatically because it was our home game and we were going to whip their distracted arses.

If I were the insurance company covering this game the AAC would have alot of explaining to do.

Something about how the inflexibility to stay an extra day or two in CT was a caused by them not having enough time to prep for Illinois.
