UConn Football...

[cuse10]

UConn is terminal. They aren’t long for the major college football world.

They need to drop to FCS. They'll be better off there.

 

[Herkimercus]

The obvious question, is there even one that we would want playing here?

They could have a center, tackle, or TE in need of a home

 

[OrangeTarheel]

There are enormous amounts of players transferring. It's the new normal with the relaxed requirements.

So who will be the 20 transferring out of our program? Last exodus like that from our program was when Marrone came onboard

I think they have a grad transfer safety that’s worth taking a look at, but probably not much else.

not 20 from one school. It’s a sign of something worse

 

[Moontan]

They don't play football in the Big East. Only UConn's Basketball and Olympic Sports were included.

UConn Football is now an FBS Independent. Along with UMass, Army, Liberty, and New Mexico St.

Double round-robin schedule gets you 8 games, add an FCS + 2 pay games and you're set.

Whoops... BYU (and ND ) should be on that list as well, though they & Liberty are not as desperate as the other 3.

 

[Pyle]

So basically they just dropped down to the proper number of schollies for an FCS program.

[Oakland]

14 Potential Transfers from Stanford, including starting QB, DT, and LB - that would plug a few holes for us! they also have 3 part time starting OL in the portal. No SU interest either way as far as I know. I only post this to show that the UConn situation is not such a rarity and there must be a ton of players in the portal that could help us.

Explaining Stanford's transfer portal exodus

Stanford starting linebacker Andrew Pryts is in the transfer portal, a source told 247Sports. Pryts started all 12 games for the Cardinal this past season. He finished with

this is going on at storz...and meanwhile we have a thread out there with a few dozen board idiots trying to tell me Syracuse should schedule them.

SMH...

Board idiots? You are a piece of work.

Well, I couldve said what I really think of them, but it is Christmas, so I went easy.

I take it you think Cuse should schedule storz st???

Noted.

Tommy is better than the Stanford QB.

I do think we should schedule them every now and again. They would be a nice regional win in close proximity to alumni, fans, recruits and I hate them. I do see the reasoning why people wouldn’t want to play them though. It’s called perspective, you should try it.

[MaxwellCuse]

Yes, but it is projected to get better by 2021 when the SNY money starts rolling in.

I would say under
Will be really shocked if they last that long

based on their on-field performance I think they moved back to FCS the day Randy was hired

In all seriousness, I think it'd cost them more to drop down to FCS. As an FBS independent, they can schedule several payday games each year against P5 opponents. Take their drubbing, collect the cash, and invest it back into basketball.

They can do that as an FCS team as well.

 

[Orangello]

Salve Regina, Western CT or Bridgeport State likely need players.

Sure, but not at the volume they can do as FBS, right? As an FCS team they could do 1-2 payday games a year. As an FBS indie the sky is the limit. They might do 5-6 a season. UConn could conceivably draw better at home by scheduling a slew of 2-for-1s with strong-travelling opponents and watching them gobble up the majority of tickets at the Rent. Basically replicate what happened when Michigan visited a few seasons ago.
