Central-UConn should be an annual game at Civic Center. It is an easy way for the Huskies to schedule a game in Hartford and the local interest/attendance is basically as good or better than any Q4 team you can put on the schedule in November/December.
However, I'm much less interested in seeing us playing a season opener at Gampel. Let another cupcake from out of state be the sacrificial offering.
Bottom line is if UConn is going to pay $75k each to home non-conf opponent like a Wagner, Niagara, NJIT, or a HBCUs - they should be willing to set aside one game annually for the other in-state public university.
