RE: UConn future scheduling, or lack thereof.
I finally had time today to look at the point of this thread. We've talked about UConn's challenges in putting together a schedule for 2020. It's pretty bleak for 2021, too.

15 schools have an opening, but have not scheduled an FCS home game. (Maryland, Nebraska, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State, East Carolina, Houston, Temple, Tulsa, FIU, ODU, Southern Miss, UAB, ULM). Sure, they could schedule UConn instead of an FCS team as a body bag game, but there's no strong reason to.

10 schools have openings and no FCS game (or have more than one opening and no FCS game). TCU, SMU, UCF, Middle Tennessee, Fresno State, UNLV, Colorado State, Hawaii, San Diego State, and New Mexico State.

UConn has 1 FBS home game signed for 2021, Purdue, plus FCS Holy Cross. Where are they going to find 3 home games? Let's see.

TCU and SMU have not signed to continue the Iron Skillet series. In 2021, TCU has 4 Big 12 home games plus Cal, and 2 openings. If they sign an FCS game and SMU, they're full. And if SMU plays TCU, SMU is full.

Hawaii could play UConn for a 6th home game, but I don't see them scheduling an 8th road game on the East Coast for the kind of money UConn is likely to offer.

Colorado State and San Diego State have a spot for a 13th "Hawaii exception" game. SDSU has 7 home games.

So the reasonably good prospects are UCF, Middle Tennessee, Fresno State, UNLV, Colorado State, SDSU and New MExico State.
