UConn becomes first FBS program to cancel 2020 football season

They may have the worst team in D1. I think UCONN football losses money so it may be better to not even play at all for them.

And they’re independent because no one wants them. Which means no one wants to play them. They wouldn’t be able to schedule 7 games this year.
 
I just don't know whether or not football season will happen. As much as we want it and with all the money that is involved, I know the AD's and conference officials are trying to find a way. But this virus is out there and in spite of the media-driven fear-mongering and politicization of a virus, most people are genuinely scared. Personally I'm not concerned, but I understand those who are - you just don't know who or what to believe and it's got honest people confused.

Agree. They don’t belong to a conference and it looks like all P5 conferences are going to conference only scheduling and they’re not Notre Dame so who do they play. I think they saw this and headed it off In order to not look so bad.

Yep. I know people who legit believe everything the media is saying about this, and they are terrified. I feel so bad for them.

Notre Dame’s weak affiliation with the ACC saved them this season. Even with the ACC going to +1 there wouldn’t be much incentive to get a game against Notre Dame especially for us when it could mean bowl game or no bowl game.
