2020 isn't as bad as the next years IMO.  Lots of open dates, but I don't see 2021 thru 2023 as better than 2020 right now:

2020 home:  UMass, Indiana, ODU, Maine, Liberty, MTSU, Army
2021 home:  Purdue, MTSU, Holy Cross
2022 home:  CCSU, Fresno State, BC
2023 home:  Duke, Lafayette, NC State, Utah State

2021:  Unless a team is scheduled for November 27th (which won't be easy to do with an FBS opponent), there won't be a home game in 2021 after November 7th.  That's not ideal.  Vs 2020, Indiana and Purdue are a wash, and 2020 has Army, and Maine + UMass >> Holy Cross (IMO).  Things could change, but unlikely an opponent as compelling as Army will be added to 2021.

2022:  BC is on the home schedule which is a big plus.  I guess 2022 could fill in better, but even with BC I'll take UMass + Indiana + Army in 2020 over CCSU + Fresno + BC in 2022.

2023: It has potential with Duke, NC State, and Utah State.  But with no regional opponents, and no opponents scheduled for November yet, I'd still take 2020.

Maybe I just need to re-calibrate my expectations of UConn as an independent.  Home games dominated by FCS and lower tier Conference USA teams, likely no ranked teams at home, and November games will be sparse.
