UConn Ath Dept loses over $40 million per year currently, it’s a wasted trip.

UConn Ath Dept loses over $40 million per year currently, it’s a wasted trip.

That went up to 51 million had to pay a former coach 11 million. I don't see how they can maintain an athletic department at all unless their football makes a profit or they have boosters willing to make up the deficit every year. Their women's basketball loses more than 6 million a season and men's probably doing a little better but probably not that much. Football and Conference TV money are the lifeline of college sports they don't seem to have either.

I don't understand this. can you take a minute and explain that?

I can but I won’t.

IMO, UConn probably could've been in the ACC but there's some bad blood between them, the former Big East schools that are in the ACC and some of the original ACC schools.

Got your back Rooster…

Should UConn abandon big-time college football? The question is a complex one to answer

While they have a 40k stadium, and an announced average of 20k attendance, they average around 10k tickets scanned. Those numbers are 2019, pre Covid

It wasn't always that way and the administration is committed to getting it back to where it once was. After all UConn is undefeated against a SEC behemoth

The bad blood occurred with Boston College lobbied UConn from joining the ACC by insisting that they are the only New England school in the conference. That was after committing to the Big East and UConn spent $90M on their football facilities. We have rivalry with UT, but its BC that UConn fans really hate.

UConn would be lucky to get an invite to the Mid American Conference tbh, no legit major conference wants anything to do with that school.

Because she wants to play more meaningful games you’re upset? Lol

Don't flatter yourself by inferring you know my emotions....

Why scrapping a South Carolina-UConn women's hoops rematch is good for both teams

 

[Remy]

Started by Pat as a showcase to grow the game, a big midseason national tv event. It used to be a huge deal, a game even people who didn't watch WBB would tune into.

That was then, this is now.

This could be very good for Tennessee. Mississippi is playing very well and could beat SC. This would give Tennessee a two-game lead. As always go Lady Vol's.

On second thought
