I get adding UConn at home to make a shitty OOC more appealing to some segment of the season ticket holders, with at least 7 home games and some local opponents. BUT now the New Hampshire Gazette is reporting that as part of the deal, the 2016 BC-UMass game is moving to Gilette.
So:
- 6 Home Games in 2016, with basically a straight swap between UMass and UConn
- 6 Home Games in 2017, with two road OOC at N.Illinois and at UConn
Did Bates not even negotiate?
Bates is the Neville Chamberlin of negotiators.
The Gilette game is more tailgating hours and less of a hassle. Once a year I fail to see the problem.
