That makes FBS Independence a little bit less daunting for Idaho--and UConn. If Liberty, UMass, UConn, NMSU and Idaho form a scheduling alliance, that's 2 FBS home games each for everybody. Your FCS game makes 3, and you're only 2 FBS home games short of a schedule.

That does not make sense for Uconn, what would they gain? They might profit about 3 million dollars but they will lose a crap ton of fans, support, and CFP money so they would probably just break even.

If they want to be in a better basketball league they would be better off trying to push the AAC to add some good basketball teams.
