Scheduling philosophy going forward

Don’t go strawman on me.

I said I don’t want to play 6 of them a year which is what Shizzle thinks we can do.

Although more open to playing 4 to 6 low level P4 teams a year if UConn football has $10 to $11 million to spend on players.

For sure.

3-4 is what we are generally doing an that is a good number. I’d say we don’t want payday games so we need to go with mid-tier or lower teams from P4 leagues because they will play home-home. You could offer the gold from the Capitol dome and Ohio State isn’t coming to East Hartford.

Fair. I would love to play 6 P4 a year, but would settle for 4, 3 in a pinch with a good G5 team like USF.

umass 12 times a year - then we go 12-0 and get into the CFP.

What is wrong with the occasional body bag game? It is offset by the FCS home game anyway. It's cool seeing UConn play in some of cfb's premier venues.

Also we could catch the opponent in a down year and turn some heads with a W. There's precedent....

Why do you want to go 7-5 every season?

Next years Maryland team will not be the same team we faced last year.

They're 4-6 with notable losses to the weaker B1G teams.

Overall it really isn't a bad schedule, it's harder than this years, but not brutal. A bowl game is possible. UNC and Duke will be much better.

I'm not sure if Evers is the guy that will lead the team, so I'm hoping we land a nice transfer.

Not too many guys can replace Bell, but with multiple WR's we can replace him in the aggregate.

Maryland team in 2024 ended up being 4-8 with a record in Big 10 of 1-8. This year they are 4-6 with Big 10 record of 1-6. Their final two games is against Michigan then Michigan State. I would say the team is basically the same as last year. Not very good.
