One could argue this would happen even without COVID

So they canceled it because of Covid and not to the $40 million deficit the athletic department is running?

All 7 UConn football season ticket holders are rioting.

But real talk are any transfers that would be worth a damn to a Power 5 team for playing time?

They are in the Big East, football independent.

This is fake. They were independent, lost any potential money games, and were slated to lose millions.

I won't be surprised if the football program stays cancelled.
