I don't understand the logic behind scheduling had-to-head against NFL games. It's not like the XL and Gampel are not available at other times. I'm sure TV is involved, but that's not what I would consider to be counter-programming.
Name one school besides BYU that does not played Sunday afternoon games during the NFL season?I don't understand the logic behind scheduling had-to-head against NFL games.

I'm sure Warde will call to get your thoughts in the futureTrue.....but due to the TV schedule and position of this conference in the overall hierarchy, the number of Sunday games is huge,
I have had HCC/XL season tix for 25 years. I can count the number of Sunday games I have been to on one hand. This season there are 5.

never mind that, who schedules a game on a weekday at 1pm???? A conference game no less.

You mean New Year's Eve?
You guys have a problem with 1:00pm, we'll then you missed the Cinci game at 11:00am at the XL center on Saturday 1/10/15. Good luck getting the students to that game
FWIW the Celtics are playing at 1:00 that day also. So I guess there are enough people not working that day to fill the stands or else they wouldn't schedule a game then.yes, the Temple game. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I work that day, it's a normal day in the office.

I think we have done this for the last 3 or 4 years at least on NYE.never mind that, who schedules a game on a weekday at 1pm???? A conference game no less.

At some point the overpaid administrators at UConn need to start influencing some outcomes or let's get people in place who can.
