UCONN home and home

[Wolegib]

Lost in all the other events of the day is Purdue agreeing to a home and home with UCONN. I'm not sure of the initial year, but I kind of like scheduling non-conference games against teams outside the MAC. Maybe a BIG 12 team or Boise St.

UCONN hasn’t done much since the 2011 Fiesta Bowl. I wondered why we went with Rutgers over them or Syracuse to gain NYC market in the BIG.

Rutgers is about 400 miles closer to NYC than Syracuse

Syracuse is never joining a conference that they can't play 80% of their games at home in basketball and is willing to let Boeheim cheat constantly in recruiting.
