This is my best guess
 
With a loaded Big East this year, what's the toughest stretch? Every season seems to have 1 stretch that seems very tough.
 
Just checked the sched on the Conference site. They don't have UConn playing Villanova!
 
Zero excuse not to have the Xavier, Marquette, Nova and Seton Hall games at Gampel. Weekends NEED to be on campus
 
I'm sure this has been asked somewhere but I can't find it....
When (traditionally) has the GP/XL designations been announced?

Same day as the schedule last year
 
Having 3 Sunday conference games but only 2 Saturday games as the reigning national champion is bordering on disgraceful

I'm not sure what schedule you're looking at but we have 7 Saturday and 3 Sunday conference games. And if you talking about only home games it's 4 Saturday and 3 Sunday

in conference, it's 3 Saturday and 3 Sunday. For context, UConn had 2 Saturday and 2 Sunday last year which was second lowest. This year Saturday Big East home games by school:

Providence
6​
Butler
5​
DePaul
4​
Creighton
4​
Georgetown
4​
Seton Hall
4​
UConn
3​
Xavier
3​
Marquette
3​
Villanova
3​
St. John's
3​

Unlike like last year where UConn played I believe 5 or 6 times on Saturday away, it's only 4 such times this year. We are moving in the right direction but the conference can do better.

I see what happened, it is 3. UConn listed part of the 2/17 away game vs Georgetown as home so I counted 4 when I was scanning

Some things they like about this schedule-

There’s a nice break around the holidays, so the guys get a solid few days at home, and there’s some time to regroup headed into heavy conference play.

Their home/away split isn’t bad- 6 at home, 4 away for the first half, reversed for the second. I don’t mind that for a relatively inexperienced team.

Teams always look for the 3 games in a 7 day stretch. UConn has four of them this season. In the first three, it’s two home games and one away. The last one is tougher- home against the Hall, at Marquette, at Providence.

Their two extended breaks in conference play (Saturday game to a Sunday game) fall between two of those 3 in 7 stretches and right before the last one.

There aren’t too many easy wins in this conference. It’s going to be so much fun. And frustrating. But mostly fun.

I have a sneaky suspicion this is because of XL situation
 
.-.
UConn needs to own the XL and The Rent and take responsibility for the success or failure at both locations.

Chief is even willing to take that job on for UConn.

Very winnable schedule. There aren't any real death stretches like last year. 7 weekend home games.

H- Creighton
@Nova
H- Xavier
H-Providence
@St. John's

Kinda tough, but 3/5 at home and who knows how good Nova/St John's will be.

Marquette
@Creighton
Villanova

Tough games, but again 2/3 home. It's a short turn-aorund to Creighton (Sat to Tues), so maybe pencil that one in as a loss.

We finish @Marq and then @Prov.. Both senior nights. Probably at least 1 loss here, but whatever.
Expand ...

Maybe not a death stretch but that last six is tough.

Marquette
@Creighton
Nova
SHU
@Marquette
@PC

That’s likely 4 top 25 games and @PC.

Over the last 10 years, this point in the football season has me looking forward to the start of the basketball season.

Well, last year's Wolfpack had their best attendance in over a decade so I can see why the CDRA would want to give deference to them over the Huskies. :rolleyes:

Hartford averaged 4,647 fans in 36 home games and have drawn the highest season average since the 2010-11 season. However, the 2010-11 season drew more as the team hosted an outdoor game, which skewed numbers higher. If you exclude that, then the Rangers affiliate has drawn the highest attendance since the 2006-07 season.

I'm interested to see if attendance is hurt by the new Friday nite hot dog price. From $1 to $2 SMH

But when you hear UConn complain about all the fixed costs about an XL event, one wonders how 4,647 attendance navigates that threshold or perhaps it doesn’t need to, since the goal may be player development not any game day profit?
Is any event venue with the CDRA involved actually profitable?

they still owe the XL a cheap beer night.

How do you figure that? That would be on XL not UConn. XL keeps concessions. UConn has zero say in that. So actually if you want cheap beer at XL you need to petition them, not UConn. Don't hold your breath.

I don't know for sure, but I would guess that the Wolfpack pays significantly less for the use of the XL than Connecticut does.

As far as I am aware the CDRA has never shown a profit in any venture it was involved in. That's a pretty telling indictment of them and probably the most salient of the many reasons why the agency should be disbanded.

Even diverting an estimated $7 1/2 million dollars a year from the University, the CDRA's shows a multi million dollar loss every year. How is that acceptable?

eh, that doesn't hold any water. They've run specials at The Rent in the Big East days.
