This is NOT what I was looking for, Syracuse!
The other day, we firmly established that Syracuse -- with just eight non-conference opponents secured between 2016 and 2019 -- was behind the eight-ball a bit when it came to finalizing future schedules. In particular, we've been concerned about what happens to that vacant 2016 non-conference road game. I came up with MANY obvious choices, all of which would have been ideal for the Orange from a recruiting and ease-of-win standpoint. And one thing I made sure to hammer home in those articles: Don't schedule UConn because there's absolutely no value in doing so.
