Actually, it looks like this was WMU's request to drop their game with UConn. WMU's athletic director Kathy Beauregard said it was a good business decision because they will save about $60-80 thousand dollars by playing a 1-AA team.

UConn doesn't get much benefit from this other than another home game. Seems to be in their better interest to face tougher competition. Other than an easy win vs. a 1-AA team it won't help their strength of schedule any. They were just accommodating WMU's request.

BTW - rocket - it's obvious that bug you have up your @ss regarding UConn dropping the Toledo game is not gonna die anytime soon, but please get some of the facts straight before you pass judgement. :rolleyes:

Peace.
