Far more than the Liberty Bowl absolutely being a dump, B1G's special recognition of UConn as a P5 opponent, other B1G program's recent and long term recruiting success in the northeast, and current projections of a reasonably likely win each contribute more to Purdue scheduling the Huskies. However, I'll throw out PU's relationship building and fundraising with affluent Connecticut and northeast alumni Boilermakers as a similarly solid motivation.

This is nothing but a good thing. Righting the ship in terms of schedule which is 50% of the problem. Winning is the other 50%.

The Big 10 has so much goddam money it's scary. Big 10 afterthought school just out footballed what was supposed to be a new ACC powerhouse football school. Take away Lamar Jackson (and an army of working ladies) and you get an afterthought athletic department with embarrassingly low academics.

UConn has the perfect hook right now to get these series. B1G counts them A major opponents plus they're so bad anyone will schedule them. Its all part of the plan!
If they allow us to join, we could be the official foil for the Big 10.

Oops ... Rutgers already filled that job.
