I've been seeing news articles and also letters from the UConn president about how UConn is in trouble with a budget shortfall. Despite the implications for education, will this have any bearing on athletics? I would hate to see the school lose the ability to compete on a national level (all sports but basketball especially) because of a lack of funding, especially in the NIL era and the eventual P2 breakoff from the NCAA. How bad is the situation really? I know a few other public Unis are experiencing something similar. I can't imagine our current situation is very sustainable.
I was also sad to see UConn not get a Big 12 bid this past summer. Seems like the school could use the massive revenue boost and exposure, plus we've shown we can compete like a P5 in sports and also revenue generated, which is higher - if not the highest of any "G5." Would the P5 be a viable solution to our budget woes and if so, what's our path to get there?
