This is mainly because they are rushing to the Big East and have accepted this fate. I could see four FCS schools, which will essentially make them ineligible for a bowl, but they might actually have a good season and spark some interest.

They’re big boys, they’ll be fine.

The problem is that they need 5 home games, and only one of those can be against an FCS school. That's aside from the bowl eligibility rule. So they'd be paying FCS schools to come to their stadium for no reason (beyond the first), or they'd be going to FCS stadiums, which also has no point.

I don't think the 5 home/one against FCS thing will really matter. I'm sure the NCAA will give them a one year waiver for pretty much whatever schedule they come up with for 2020 and maybe 2021. They aren't going to go through the hassle of kicking a school out.

I took a look at the NCAA's manual, and it looks like the only thing that happens if you play a non-compliant schedule is that the NCAA sends you a sternly-worded letter. The second non-compliant schedule gets you what amounts to probation, during which you have three years to get off probation by putting together a compliant schedule. Unless I read it wrong, it takes a half-decade of non-compliant scheduling to get knocked down to FCS against your will. Any discussion of needing a certain number of FBS home games for next year should probably have the word needs wrapped in quotation marks.

Exactly. I don’t see why people keep on insisting UConn needs to be compliant out of the gates
