UConn 2021 scheduling - when are we filling out the rest of the card?

It'd be nice to incorporate another MAC school somewhere along the line.

Absolutely. I think we will be playing 1 MAC school every year. We already have Bufffalo booked for our a four game series and Ball St for two. I decided to not write about the MAC because I don't think we need any particular strategy there, just play whomever along with Buffalo.

Also, with the MWC, CUSA and SunBelt, I think you just play H&H's with whomever will have us - no particular strategy, just spread them out to balance the travel.

Army and Navy are priorities from what I had heard. The other Power 5 big boys are payday games. Texas, Florida and maybe Cali for recruiting purposes.

Think we can get in with Navy? Their OOC has no room because of Army, and ND games.

And I didn't write about Army (or BYU or UMass) because I figure those will happen regularly as the core of our scheduling. Well, not BYU yet, but Army already is booked as a regular and UMass & UConn have said we will be regulars.

Good stuff here brother. This should be the platform to use... I also think it would benefit the state of CT by playing all FCS schools in the area at some point. We've got Yale & CCSU on the schedule. Sacred Heart looks like a team that needs to be put on the list.

I know UConn wants Navy, I am not sure it is reciprocated.

I'd like see a couple from the PAC 12. I think one of the Arizona's we could pick up and maybe Oregon St, Washington St or Cal.

I’d like the PAC as well. at least a series now and again..I think you kind of listed who we might get home and homes with. I would add USC mostly because they don’t seem to mind coming East on occasion for a game.

The one I'm praying we get the most is Hawaii.... H & H....

Ever taken that 11 hr flight to HI from the northeast? You need two days to recover.

I don't see a cost conscience football program signing up for an expensive trip to Hawaii. Especially a program trying to curb substantial operating deficits.

wishful thinking.
 
The only thing with Hawaii is you can play them in week 0 which makes the trip worthwhile and gives you an extra "off" week.

Could also play them the last week of the season and pair it timing wise with UConn playing in Maui or Diamond Head classic.

Besides Umass, here's a 2022 move that swaps in nicely with the Edsall tweet below since BYU and Uconn are both short 1 game for 2022 and Liberty's website says they are playing both BYU + Uconn in 2022.
Uconn could host BYU on 10/22 (a Uconn open date) ....
If BYU travels to Liberty on 10/29 ( both teams have open) instead of 10/22 (currently scheduled according to Liberty Future Schedules).... Uconn does not list the 2022 Liberty game (yet) on their latest schedule release which list future games: UConn Football Finalizes 2021 Schedule
Expand ...
BTW- Now that Uconn has also confirmed the Nov 12th, 2022 date with Liberty, a BYU at Uconn game would still be possible on Oct 22 with the one move above ..... BYU traveling to Liberty on Oct 29th...

Yes!!!!!! If we could get a permanent home and home series going that would be awesome.
 
Push back Army a year and go to Lincoln instead?

On the Doug Gottlieb show, they said Nebraska reached out to Old Dominion for the game.
