I mean would you rather lose to Tulane by 40 or Ohio St by 40 and bring in $40mm in the process?

Why is 40 million making us better? Like putting lipstick on a pig

Take another hit.. At the end of the day we’re still UConn football no recruits are coming here and neither is a coaching staff I think we all need to come to terms with that it’s over

If we were in the B1G we’d be at least on par with BC/Cuse on recruits.

And the $40mill comment... how does that not help?

I think Rutgers would eventually be competitive in the ACC (same as UConn).

The Big10 is just a behemoth and playing in the same division as Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, and Penn State is an awful lot of football tradition inertia to overcome.

If we are playing San Jose State on 9/5, then it stands to reason we are also adding Central Michigan to the schedule as well. Currently SJS is slated to open on the road against Central Michigan. Playing this out, CM is slated to host Bryant on 9/26. My guess is that for CM the Bryant game gets moved forward to 9/5 and then on the weekend of 9/26 CM comes to Hartford or on some other date later in the season.

Update: I noticed Army visits SJS on 11/14. It’s widely known UConn and Army will work out an extended series as two neighboring independents. One way to start would be for Army to visit UConn on 11/14 instead of SJS and UConn visits SJS in army’s place at TBD date. That might be the more likely scenario than the CMU game trade.

Helps the school I get it, but we’re delusional if we think that goin forward that we’re gonna be anything but average at best , support the kids and be prepared to complain about how much the coaching staff sucks

Or at least buys out KO.

They can already pay that.

Pretty easy to buy out Ollie when he is owed exactly 0.0 million dollars.

Doesnt have to be their FCS cupcake game? I suppose they could forgo their annual treat, but very few schools ever do that.

Just trying to front run the negative nellies here .... would we not qualify as the FCS cupcake?

TCU just booked SMU. That sucks!

That’s been done for months Series extended through 2025 per Coach Patterson

Yeah that series has been going on for a while, for whatever reason that sat on the announcement to extend until now.

That indeed is an angle for booking 2020 games. No doubt. Might work once or twice.

 

[Waquoit]

We start next season on the road at San Jose State.

Awesome! I'm gonna go!

 

[Waquoit]

I thought the original date that I saw for San Jose State was 8/29.

That's what I'm going with for my hotel reservation. Saturday makes more sense than Wednesday.
