If I had to guess, the time change is geared towards getting the students interested in going. Friday night drinking at the Rent followed by more drinking is much more appealing than waking up early on a Saturday morning for a scrimmage.
IIRC the blue-white game has been in the afternoons recently. It's been awhile since they had it in the morning.

Long off season.
Newer QB's won't be there given Summer sessions

What time will the gates open?
Have the day off... maybe time to travel 2 to 3 hours early, little golf with old friends, party and watch scrimmage.

Not a fan of having to fight Friday Hartford traffic just to go to a Spring football exhibition. Saturday's are always much better. You got people on the move for the weekend plus the usual after work traffic and then add Husky fans trying to squeeze through the same outdated interchanges? Doesn't sound very appetizing to me.
Sounds like Scott Haney excuses

Go back to sleep
Z z z One inch of snow predicted. Can't drive to Storrs to see a game. Can't plan a route to get to East Hartford to avoid traffic. AAC has your vote

Not a chance. It's spring weekend. Students aren't going...

I am still laughing at "Gala".
The well heeled have a shindig Saturday night so no afternoon spring game?

Fair to assume the game won't be televised or streamed anywhere?

They did this recently before the season ticket holder event with the coaches. Legitimately excellent deals and it was mayhem, every man for themselves. Got a lot of nice stuff though.

I made out like a bandit last year. Got a really nice hoodie for 10 bucks and a tshirt for my fiancé that was like 5 bucks. Limited quantities and sizes but this deal is worth coming out for in its own right

These sales are no joke. Legitimate apparel for basically nothing. I'm in.

it was originally tweeted there would be a streaming option available but that appears to not be the case after all

It wasn't originally tweeted by UConn - the site that initially tweeted it is sketchy.
