I went through this exercise months ago. Basically in FBS football land all the programs have all their FBS OOC scheduling completed for 2020 and whats left are only open dates for their annual FCS cupcake games. Seems extremely unlikely any program will skip their annual right for a cupcake.

So, what really has to happen for 2020 is for UConn to approach schools with established OOC dates and pitch to both programs the offer to play both using whatever sweetener/pitch/angle you can possible inject to the situation.

More than one ACC school is playing UCF. Four play Liberty and three play ODU. Liberty seemed to be fairly sucessful squeezing in late season OOC Games.


Virginia and NC State have fairly late games against Liberty. UMass is off Oct 31 and plays us in the opener. That’s nuts. Independents need games vs each other late in the year. Good bet we move that game to October.

Army plays San Jose State on Nov 14 so that’s a game we could flip and play them both.

I think they will make this work, and beyond that it gets easier.
 
One thing working in UConn’s favor with ACC teams is Notre Dane football deal with ACC. Notre Dame has to play ACC, and I would look at schools in the acc when they aren’t playing Notre Dame in the future as possible targets.

The way it was explained to me is that having Notre dame in rotation unbalances acc non-conf schedule. UConn as an Indy is much more flexible where it can fit it, especially as a late October non-conf game.

To your point Plan ahead: ACC/Notre Dame set schedule for football games in 2026-2037 :: WRALSportsFan.com

They actually have six ACC games next year. But it helps Explain why ACC teams have mid to late season non conference games regularly. Liberty seems popular as a Virginia team. I suspect UConn would be as well. They all recruit CT high school kids.

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
