Or what? Absolute worst-case scenario is something like they go out and get some FCS buy games against, like, NEC and Pioneer league teams to round out a home schedule, play like 9 games with 6 of them being FCS opponents. I don't mean "worst reasonable outcome", I mean they literally don't get any additional FBS opponents for next year. That happens and the NCAA tells them not to do it again, and you move on to the next season.

Thats what I suspect will happen. They have 4 games. They will pay to have a couple of currently scheduled games cancelled so those teams can schedule UConn instead. Do that twice and you net 4 games. That gives UConn 8 games. Maybe they find a random opening to grab another FBS game or two---and then they fill in with FCS games from there. Maybe UConn ends up with 3-5 FCS games next year. So what? Other than making it difficult to make a bowl and a nasty attendance drop, I dont see how there would be any significant repercussions as long as the Huskies immediately get back to a normal schedule in 2021 that conforms with NCAA requirements.
