Life after bolting from AAC

It’s OK now to feel good — much better, at least — about the direction of UConn football, the pulse of which many considered to be the soft drumbeat of irrelevance last summer and in the time since.

The program was made to walk the plank, remember? That is what it may have looked like, anyway, when the university announced a return to the Big East in June 2019, energizing its basketball operations and leaving football to reinvent itself as an independent without opponents or a TV contract in place.

UConn on Monday will announce an agreement with CBS Sports Network, which will carry four homes games in the upcoming 2020 season — if there is one — and every home game through 2023. The four-year deal comes with a pair of two-year network options that could push the agreement to eight years, through the 2027 season.

UConn football is more irrelevant than we are to a national audience.

I'm impressed someone talked CBS Sports into airing some football games.
