We amended the game contract last month to change the date from 9/2 to 9/4. Now obviously as its a FCS game we could move it again if we wanted to, but as it stands today we're playing the Crusaders on 9/4.
Yeah Uconn did change that date on the last press release, but for some reason not in the drop down menu:
Interesting question but I think we have a pretty solid slate of games through 2025 at least. When this was announced, the AD actually stated that 2021 would be the toughest year for scheduling so I guess I’m not that worried. It actually seems that with a number of new FBS teams and the interest in going Indy it might work out. For example USC is studying whether the PAC still makes sense or if a ND/ACC style deal might not allow them to get more traction nationally.
Idk, I think that actually makes us more attractive on the schedule. UConn is still a name brand, and a nice tune up game. It might be a problem when we start winning some of those games.
2022 and subsequent schedules are populating with P5 schools including Clemson, Ohio State, UCF, Michigan, Maryland, NC State, Purdue, Tennessee, UNC Chapel Hill, Vandy, and Dook, recent NY state bowl teams Army and Buffalo, other recent bowl schools including Temple, Fresno St, Wyoming, Utah St, San Jose St, other opponents from recruiting rich target states (FL, GA, VA, PA), a coupla BCS schools off of the Mass Pike, and no evidence of more than 1 BCS opponent/season (post 2021). In 2022, UConn even enabled some school near Ontario to play 100% closer to the City.
I had mention those possibilities in my post above along with cash considerations. Here are the details on Uconn taking Houston's away game at Vandy.
Good call, I looked, but not back that far>>>>> But we do know Houston agreed to opt out and they are now missing an FBS road game. So then the question remains what was in it for Houston to opt out ? A road payment from Uconn FB and/ or a free visit home game ? Instead of the $ 1 mil UCF is paying the Huskies to travel to FLA. DB telling them I know Kelvin wants another shot at Danny and about that AAC seperation deal, we were talking to Memphis and Cincy but ??? ....... Alot of things could be in play as I posted above...if the Cougs are #12
Agreed and I think UH will be on the schedule as part of at least this year's version but likely a H/H or potential 2/1 or 2/2 in the future. UH admin and UConn admin always seemed to get along. I pointed it out on Twitter yesterday but if UH would agree to play football @ UConn on 11/27 then we could also host the hoops team in Hartford and have a double header against the Cougars, although they have very little incentive to come North during the winter. UConn basketball is currently scheduled to be in the Battle 4 Atlantis in 2021 during that time but you have to assume at this point that isn't happening.
FYI you linked a twitter post about the hockey arena instead of the article you referenced in your post but that's good to hear they're planning to do it still.
Caught that... all better.
Unintentionally, an opportunity to recognize the 1st time ever ranked, #20 UConn Huskies Ice Bus.
The shocker is the Cougs are willing to play in E. Hartford for the last game of the season...NOV 27th. Thought they
