I don't hate this nearly as much as a lot of people on the boards.
UConn is a program on the rise. BCS opponent. Good coaching. They'll be tough. And it's not another school from the MAC. The Northeast doesn't produce a ton of talent but it won't hurt to get some exposure there.
No, they aren't a big name, but UConn has had about as much or more success recently as some of the other names thrown about.
Since they've been working for quite a while to fill this date, I have to assume that there weren't a lot of big name schools beating down Michigan's door, even for a home-and-home series.
