What was ESPN thinking of???

.
Sunday's game at Rutgers is being touted on the UConnHuskies site as a "matinee" - if only! The start time would be noonish in that case. But no, it's 3:00 PM, the same as the starting time for the broadcast of the Broncos/Patriots AFC Championship game!

And how long has the MLK Day WCBB game not featured UConn?

Since Pat stopped playing us

Exactly. So Pat cancels the series, rejects ESPN's contract with UConn's signature on it, they reward Tennessee with the MLK Jr Game, and UConn gets stiffed by being scheduled against Rutgers at the same time as the first NFL Divisional Championship.

Counter programming.
ESPN always shows wcbb opposite the nfl playoffs. This is nothing new.
