Actually Nancy is still a volunteer assistant coach, and the new head coach is her former assistant of almost 20 years, who was the primary international recruiter. Maybe he’s spread too thin.

He was doing the recruiting overseas which was key to their success. Pandemic travel restrictions killed the roster. Maybe it will come back to previous levels.

I still don't get how people can think AD Dave is not a top AD. He saved the basketball programs, made several good to very good Indy schedules, got a legitimate coach to come to a 1-11 program, has gone head first into fundraising and NIL.

Only real blemishes is the Ollie lawsuit, keeping Ray Reid two years too long and the Field Hockey succession.
Expand ...
Men's soccer succession gets a TBD. I wasn't high on the choice and hoping he proves me very wrong. I'm also unsure on Men's Hockey. I'm not sure if we've reached Cav's ceiling. Women's soccer, hockey and softball look like good hires.

Shizzle would rather go 0-12 playing all P4 opponents than win a game playing against a Sunbelt team. This despite the fact that since the Big East imploded we are 2-12 or something.

And when did we beat a P4 team before BC?
Somehow your less concerned about barely beating and losing to FCS teams. Like we shouldn't be better than that. Your search for the bottom in order to succeed is never ending. You and others make a great Limbo Dancers.

The 2028 game still stands according to uconnhuskies.com. 23/28 is one home and home and 24/25 is simply another home and home. Also, it’s unknown if the 2025 schedule is complete because we don’t know what Army is going to do with our game that year.

Wait. UConn itself states the '28 game has been moved and you care what a schedule posted well earlier that they haven't gotten around to changing yet says? Why?

We beat Virginia in Diaco’s bowl year. Then went 6 years before another win.

I absolutely have been ticked about losing to FCS teams or even having close games with them. We should never, ever lose to Holy Cross or Towson or Villanova or URI. On the other hand, since the end of the Big East we have won 2 P4 games and lost something like 12. Most by lopsided scores. We have lost to power teams like Michigan but we have also been pounded by mediocre and lost to poor ones. Sumo quid sumus. We are what we are. Whose season was more fun ours or James Madison’s? I want football to be fun again. And going 0-4 and getting pounded isn’t fun. Looking at the schedule and thinking 7-5 is our best case isn’t fun. Feel free to disagree

It is in the press release from today. The 2028 game as of today is still on.

Where did UConn state such? What I see is a tweet by UConn announcing a series in 24/25 and someone retweeting and speculating it was the 28 game moved.

From the UConn site article:

New contract: 2024 (H) & 2025 (A)

2028 (H): No change to previously agreed contract; return home game
(won away game in 2023 season).

Full 2024 schedule to be released in mid-January.

This probably won’t be the final change. The schedule is a mess right now. At Maryland, (Merrimack on 9/7?), at Duke, then 6 home games with a week off in the middle, then @ UAB 3 weeks off then @UMass. With a Syracuse game somewhere to be scheduled. I guess you could move Merrimack to 11/16 or 11/23, but that gives you Syracuse on 9/7 and 3 P4 games in a row to start the year. Might as well cancel the season. We’ll be 0-3 before getting out of the locker room. Or move Syracuse to the former Wake spot, Merrimack to November and have a bye early and late. A mess.
 
When I say the current 24 schedule is a mess I mean as to when we play. The actual teams are pretty good and sort of interesting. Regional opponents in Syracuse, Temple, Buffalo and UMass. Even Merrimack and Maryland fall into that pot. We have history with both Wake and Duke. Just that the current dates are unworkable.
