What the BYU home and home says about realignment (bad news)

[housekeys]

There are people who post here who do have sources . Obviously, you have to be able to discern which ones you believe from those whom you think are just full of it.

You think there are people on this board who have sources on conference realignment? (which is the topic we are talking about). Then, unless those sources are Herbst and Manuel or at their level, those posters are not much in the know than anyone else. I do agree there are people posting who do have sources on other issues (recruiting etc.) and therefore their opinion on CR is more reputable. As for being full of it, did you honestly discern that Rutgers rumors to the B1G were true?

As to your last question, no. I didn't believe that until ESPN ran with it a day or two before the official announcement. LOL, I'm not sure I believe it yet.

If you visit Utah in 2014, you'll miss the game.

I don't think the game has anything to reveal about expansion - it's a good game that I think has some television appeal. If something changes conference-wise, adjustments can be made and cash can change hands.

We're going to go out to Provo if for nothing other reason than I want to see some of you try to tailgate with just juice and soda.

They have local craft beer at Olive Garden in SLC...but man the rules at the bar are weird.

This is going to be huge because we need marquee games to attract ticket sales. While I think the NBE is going to be more exciting then some believe, at least in football, it's not going to be enough to attract the casual fan. However, I think there will be a huge uptick in season tix this year because of the schedule and if UConn can impress and win, a lot of those season tickets may be renwed. This will be one of the most important seasons for UConn in many ways, but winning and putting on an enjoyable show for all the season ticket holders will be huge.

I 100% agree with this statement we need to prove that our football program is good enough to play in the big 10 or the acc for that matter so it will be a huge year just for that case. But we definitely need to have a better year than Cincinnati to show to other confrences that were better than them

A home and home with BYU is an easy feat to accomplish, so long as you're willing to travel to utah at the end of the season. See Southern Miss. BYU struggles to find quality opponents to do what UConn agreed to. If anything, it is a sign of UConn's weakness, not strength. However it sure beats playing Nobody U at the Rent. So it's a win win for fans of meaningful games.

That's a bummer....(the price of a home early game is a late season game) clearly Warde went-a-beggin.....

Its a decent game that will get decent coverage.

That's what a BYU UConn Home and Home says. It might be the best game among the not Big Five Conference programs in that year.

Cincy plays BYU in 2015 and 2016. What does that say about UConn's chances of getting into the BiG?
