Final hurdle cleared

Press conference today at the capital to announce that UConn can still negotiate with Notre Dame.

Here is the deal, six game series starting in 2011-2017 with three games in South Bend and three games at either Gillette or Giants Stadium. In those seasons where UConn plays at Gillette or Giants Stadium, UConn will have six games in East Hartford.

Season ticket holder will be able to buy 6 games only package and if they want, get a discounted ticket included in their package for Notre Dame. Season ticket holders won't have to buy an ND ticket if they don't want to.

Of course, UConn will play USF Nov. 23, a Sunday, in Tampa. It's terrible, but you do what you have to do to get on TV...I guess

Some Randy Edsall notes:

Randy Edsall wants the stadium expanded 20,000 more. Maybe because he was in the capital he was pushing the legislature to expand the stadium. Now, that's politics. Hathaway was asked about that in the pres conference, he said no plans are in the works to do that.

Edsall also wants to play Boston College.

"It's a crime that we don't play BC." Edsall also said that he would like to play Notre Dame and Boston College.
