For all intents and purposes, the highly controversial seven year football series between UConn and Notre Dame is dead. The deal, which did not provide any home games for the Huskies, has been rendered irrelevant with the signing of home and home deals with Michigan and Tenessee. The Big East's resurgence in recent years has been bolstered by the fact that the tradtional "Blue Blood Programs" are now willing to play in Big East stadiums. In addition to the UConn series' listed above, Rutgers has also inked deals with UCLA, Miami and Penn State. Sorry Charlie. Your program has lost its clout. The Scarlet Knights turned down a similar deal with the Irish in the Spring of 2008.
