Interesting $hit from TOS (and the Blaudy blog):
Gist of the blog:
- BC working on filling out the 2016 schedule with an FCS and Florida International
- Currently expected BC home schedule for 2016: Clemson, Louisville, Syracuse, UMass, Buffalo, Florida International and random-FCS-filler).
- UMass, trying to orchestrate a little tit-for-tat to eventually have BC AND UConn on the schedule every year long-term, is pressuring Bates to hold off on FIU and instead...wait for it...for BC to take UMass's 2016 game against UConn, with UMass replacing UConn with FIU. In exchange for this kindness, UMass wants Bates to give them more games scheduled down the road.
- This would make BC's 2016 home schedule: Clemson, Louisville, Syracuse, UMass, Buffalo, UConn and an FCS.
- BC and UConn negotiating the details of a future series is holding things up
P.S.Bates and UConn AD Warde Manuel both played ball at Michigan. Methinks BC - UConn is going to happen.
