“The long-term goal is obviously to move athletics closer to financial self-sufficiency,” UConn spokesperson Stephanie Reitz said in an email, noting that as recently as 2013, the athletic department did not require a significant subsidy.

gee, what happened in 2013?

Their descent to becoming the University of San Francisco is going quicker than anyone could have imagined.

San Francisco would pummel Uconn on the hardwood.

And maybe Cuse, too.

But lol @ Uconn

The State is bankrupt

If you had the athletic department as a branch of your business, you'd get rid of it.

Highest % subsidized (slightly over 50%) public school athletic program in Div. I.

They are losing over $112K per day. Almost $5K per hour. The numbers are staggering.

This year San Francisco is a much better basketball team than UConn. They may get an at large if some things go their way.

Wow. Look I know we are rivals with them and their fans are complete pieces of garbage and there new coach acts like he just did cocaine and...where was I going with this. I don't like to admit when I enjoy bad things happening to people or groups I don't like but Yukon and Craig Carton are in that boat and it's sinking and I'm smiling.

 

[SWC75]

Weren't we once supposed to envy them, their facilities, the commitment of the people of the state, their basketball teams, etc.?

Wow, that amount is a big chunk out of the university's budget. This cannot go on for very long without damaging the university's ability to fulfill its core mission. Is it going to take a school going under for administrators to get wise?

Eph UConn.

Half those losses are as a result of replacing laptops stolen by the basketball team.

 

[stuckinbig11]

yawn

 

[Delmar]

Not a problem. All this goes away when they accept the impending invitation from the B1G-TEN. That's going to be some payday! … any time now … just you wait … gonna happen … sitting by the phone … you'll see … … … … is the phone charged? … Can you hear me now? ...

Eph UConn.

We’re not allowed to say that anymore. We have to be nice to them. We don’t want to hurt any feelings and create tension like there was 5 years ago.

 

[orangefog]

No wonder they run out of jalepeno mac and cheese.

Eph UConn.

They could be called the Ephmen but that's actually the Williams College nickname.

Ha ha. $51 m after they have to pay off Ollie. Their program is in shambles and gasping for air. That’s why you can laugh and laugh and laugh again and their pitiful program

cuse!

We are fans, we are not the players. Its not like anything we say, as fans, impacts anything on the court

Part of the joy of being a fan (for many of us anyway), is cheering for your own team, and talking crap about teams you don't like. And total respect for those who don't enjoy sport that way as well. Just always remember that once they are not fans or not on the court, they are likely as respectable as most other himans.
