UConn unfortunately had their decision dictated to them by scheduling with schools who canceled games with non conference schools. They really couldn't play much of a schedule even if they wanted to.

Hopefully things will get better, especially after the Uconn FB (even though they all tested negative) news today...... and all our B-ballers will have a season this year.
Well looks like B1G Football is following Uconn's lead, now what's next ?....Basketball in the bubble ?
The B1G see "some" games go on and the money flowing in and says...." Can we have a do over ? " now they'll do an 8 +1 game season ...Rutgirls not happy......SO what's this all mean for hoops ?Well it's official....B1G and the PAC follow Uconn FB's lead, cancels fall sports ....hoping for JAN hoops as Geno mentions above.
Well it's not like this is normal circumstances obviously and there is absolutely zero reason to hype anything right now regarding the entertainment business. The entertainment business is about talent buy and renting out the right venue for your event so you can put enough asses in seats to exceed your break even and then some. Since there will be no (paid) asses in seats except those who are comped as Uconn player friends and family members, anything regarding hype in the normal entertainment formula is absolutely moot.Blades,
The UConn website has clearly posted the next game will be December 11 against St. John's:
C'mon man, I thought you were in the entertainment biz, you know how it works, events get hyped all the time whether they actually happen or not.
On the other hand the UConn girls will have 4 games under their belts by December 11, and it appears 3 of them will be televised:
The opener is Quinnipiac, which should be a decent team, on SNY with pregame show starting at noon on November 28 which is 1 week from tomorrow!
( Covid rules exception) Don't jinx them ...all it takes is one positive for either team...The girls I thought had been practicing, if so they will be ready to go vs QU.

Men's hype video, all out there again as one !
Does Uconn student TV know something (posted the 20th- 5 days to go) that the other media doesn't ? Also someone told FS1 that Uconn vs. CCSU would be 8pm on their WED TV schedule.The UConn website has clearly posted the next game will be December 11 against St. John's:
Uconn and all BE schools get a fixed amount.. per the long term Fox TV contract rights , so I don't know why you keep adding that as a variable, it's not. Along with selling tickets. But because of the non-stop Covid issues, I've also read Uconn isn't ready to sign a pay to play contract with CCSU and U Hart. Like I said above Uconn only agreed to play and announce Umass hockey roughly 48 hours before the games this week-end took place.Why would they intentionally jeopardize TV revenue by posting fake news? I can't believe that someone is this asleep at the switch updating the website, but I will keep watching for updates. I do not want to miss ANY games men or women.
OK I am going to stay tuned on that and hope the game goes forward. The revenue I was talking about is Fox Sports advertising revenue in broadcasting these games. I can't imagine they would be happy if their broadcast partners aren't advertising and listing these games so people will actually tune in and then Fox gets something out of having paid for these games. I think UConn should in good faith be on the same page as Fox to assist it in generating the TV revenue needed to sustain the contracts that pay the BE and/or UConn. If I am a Fox executive looking at that website page and reading your posts Blades, I am not happy. Not happy at all.
OTOH, the women's page is listing all games and TV applicability of each. They are keeping SNY and ESPN happy. You always keep happy the hand that feeds you.
I don't know if he can be trusted but the Uhart MBB coach John Gallagher says he's playing Uconn on Friday....as promised the Blades does his best to scan the WWW to bring the latest in Uconn news .But IMHO , if the girls are playing soon, MBB will also be playing well before the DEC 11th date.
