That's a point I hadn't considered
For reasons others shared in a message thread initiated after a tweet NOT by Iowa's AD but instead by Kyle Bowlsby (Iowa alumnus, AD & coach recruiter, and son of Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby), scheduling one of the rare Hawkeyes' OOC games is a best challenging. Even with Connecticut alumnus/Milford native Kirk Ferentz at the helm in Iowa City, a H&H is unlikely for several years at best. Inconveniently, UofI schedules in-state State, nearby UNI, and an occasional MAC, FCS, and MWC opponent. UConn could be an alternative, and 2028 may be open. Plenty of time to plan, and it would be good to schedule Iowa H&H. Or, beat them at Yankee Stadium, in some other bowl game, and to tie in men's hoops and maybe women's basketball games.
I'd like to see BYU on the schedule every year.
Yeah sure, but I suspect they arent that interested.
That'll change after our championship run this year.
Gotta see if you can get Iowa out of the South Dakota St game in 2022. Maybe we could move our CCSU game back and host South Dakota St instead in a pay game. Heck I'd go play @SDSU if we got Iowa to come to CT. Iowa at home in 2022, away in 2026. Give them women's basketball at Iowa in 21/22 and 23/24 with a game in CT in 22/23.For reasons others shared in a message thread initiated after a tweet NOT by Iowa's AD but instead by Kyle Bowlsby (Iowa alumnus, AD & coach recruiter, and son of Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby), scheduling one of the rare Hawkeyes' OOC games is a best challenging.

UConn already has UNC (Chapel Hill 2026; East Hartford 2027)
In addition to No Classes in 2027, NC State and Dook also appear on at least UConn's 2023 home schedule. No clue nor care which yACC division applies, but it's likely each school has significant #s of alumni and other fans in CT, the City, and in other neighboring states. At some point, it will be surprising should more games with UVA, VT, Georgia Tech and Wake not appear on future Huskies' schedules.
Home and home, great location, easy travel, recruits and a chance to win. Not sure how this gets any better.
Well we have a series with Duke coming up. Also one with NC State, I believe. I would think games with Virginia, maybe VaTech, maybe Georgia Tech certainly Wake Forest would all be doable. North Carolina is also on the schedule. One thing we bring I think is that UConn is relatively close, easy to get to from Raleigh-Durham or DC and Atlanta for that matter, and as someone said there are lots of alums to hit up for donations and so on between Fairfield County, New Haven and Hartford. Add in that UConn has relatively better facilities and is a name, albeit in basketball not football, and ACC games make all kinds of sense. I a
I've said something like that in the past. My kid graduated from Wake last year. About a quarter of the undergraduate student body is from the Northeast (New England plus NY, NJ, and PA -- US Census definition). Connecticut itself contributes about 3-4%. If I were Wake I would be looking add non-ACC northeastern schools to their schedule. UConn would be perfect for them. I guess they should also consider UMass, Rutgers, Penn State, and Temple.
FIFY, added Syracuse, Pitt, Wake, and GT in other ACC schools with no realistic expectations of national championships any time soon.
I prefer Limp Lizard, to tell the truth.
