I know what you’re thinking right now, Pat Summitt came to her senses and admitted that she was wrong for canceling the series with the UConn Huskies. That scenario is highly unlikely. You do have a better chance though that the UConn Huskies football team will play the Tennessee Volunteers in football before the women’s basketball teams ever meet again in the regular season.
That’s right folks. The UConn Huskies will be playing the Volunteers in football starting in 2015. It’s a 2-year contract that calls for a home game for each team. Tennessee will travel to Rentschler Field to play on September 26, 2015 and the Huskies will travel to Neyland Stadium on September 3, 2016.
<blockquote“It is very exciting for our football program to have a series with Tennessee,” says UConn head coach Randy Edsall. “We want to challenge our team by playing a strong non-conference schedule in addition to the BIG EAST slate we face every year. Tennessee is a nationally-recognized program and we are happy to have them on our future schedule.”
The scheduling of Tennessee is huge for the UConn football program. It gives them a nationally known team from perhaps the best football conference in the land, SEC, to play. It will also help them out tremendously with recruiting in the coming years.
