On the one hand, he says the SEC could expand but then says none of the Power 5 conferences would take a team at the level of UConn. The SEC, if expanding, would likely eye a couple of the ACC teams, and somehow they would pay for the GOR. I think that would open a spot for UConn. PAC12 for...

If you win the $1.9B Billion Powerball what would you donate to UConn sports? Subsidize Jim Mora's higher salary? Pay for part of new football stadium on campus? Lacrosse team?

"Possible alternatives? I’m sure many would advocate for Geno, commemorating the coach who will leave behind the most successful legacy in college basketball history. Honey is another strong sports-related contender, after Harrison “Honey” Fitch, who became the first Black student-athlete to...

UConn Athletic Department needs to be on top of realignment activity before decisions are made. Should be in close contact with members and officials at PAC 12, B12, B10, ACC and SEC. The last time we messed up big time and let Louisville take our spot in the ACC. We should hold UConn and state...

With the Rent hosting regional championship lacrosse games this weekend, the success of the women's team, the popularity of lacrosse in Connecticut, is it time for UConn to have a varsity men's team in the sport? I seem to remember Susan Herbst was a fan of the sport. There are six teams playing...

For the eleventh time in UConn polo’s history and for the first time since 2008, the Huskies have taken home a national championship. On Sunday, March 27, 2022, UConn faced off against the Texas Tech Red Raiders in the final of the US Polo Association Intercollegiate Women’s Division II...

It shows how generous and committed UConn students are. Money goes to UConn Children's Medical Center

UConn Interim President Andrew Agwunobi to Depart for Private Sector UConn VP for Research Radenka Maric will serve as Interim President. Board will look for permanent president. What does it means for football and UConn sports?

A high school journalist for Staples' Inklings reports: UConn football has consistently embarrassed Connecticut through a mix of poor performance and horrendous economic decisions. If the University of Connecticut continues to display their poor abilities to run a team, then many will associate...

The Hartford Courant reported Dr. Radenka Maric, UConn's vice president for research, innovation and entrepreneurship, estimated that the school would likely need to generate award dollars in the $500 million range to be considered for membership with the Association of American Universities, an...

I think UConn will pull out a victory, maybe 28 to 21. Let's Go Huskies!!

I think they would be good rivals in the future.

With the blowout of UConn by Fresno State and the team's dumpster fire record, why isn't Dave Benedict moving ahead with cleaning house. The fans basically want it now. They wanted it years ago.

Without a clear QB, I think Mensah, Burns and McFaddden will be the saving graces of this year's UConn FB team. What do you think.

The Buffalo Bills are rumored to be considering relocation if Buffalo doesn't build them a decent new stadium. Why not try what Gov. Roland attempted to do with the Patriots but with the Bills. Bring them to Hartford. It would sure help Hartford's economy. The Bills' current lease expires in...

The Board of Trustees named Andrew Agwunobi UConn's Interim President. He runs the Health Center. In his intro video, I did not hear single mention of "Huskies", sports or related topics. Instead, most of his comments could have applied to any college in the US. I don't see this as a...

MGM Resorts executive George Kliavkoff, an instrumental figure in the transformation of Las Vegas as a sports town, will be the next Pac-12 Conference commissioner, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports. Kliavkoff helped Las Vegas land the 2023 NCAA Division I men’s basketball regional and 2026...

Lawyers representing the UConn women’s rowing team sent a letter to UConn president Thomas Katsouleas on Monday stating that if the university did not reinstate the women’s rowing program, a class action lawsuit would be filed against the university and the lawyers would seek a preliminary...

So many basketball fans thought that leaving the AAC for the New Big East was the long-term solution for UConn basketball. With unexpected tournament losses for both the men's and women's teams this year, it does not appear to be the case so far. And football season as an independent has yet to...

When the two schools meet for the 50th time at Rentschler Field in October, UConn will pay Yale $285,000, according to public records obtained by the Yale Daily News. Despite not playing since 1998, the in-state rivalry thrived for a half century before UConn’s divisional realignment...

If Notre Dame formally joins the ACC in next year or two does UConn have a shot at membership too? I think so. UConn, more than anything, has to show it is taking its varsity sports programs seriously. In the last decade or so, that was not the case. The major college FB teams would never have...

I only want the best for Randy Edsall. But if UConn finds it has a head coach's job available what about Terry Bowden? He is currently an assistant at Clemson. Bowden was previously head coach at Salem University (1983–1985), Samford University (1987–1992), Auburn University (1993–1998), the...

Today's perfect weather would have made it a great Saturday for a UConn football game. Indiana was scheduled for this weekend until the pandemic hit. Would have been a great B10 match-up. Look forward to UConn playing to UMass in the spring.

Students applying to UConn will have the option of whether to submit SAT and/or ACT scores with their applications and the school said the decision will not impact the decision on whether they are admitted, WVIT reported. That could make it easier for high school or community college football...

I just looked at the FB preseason rankings published by our new partner CBS Sports Network. Our former conference teams, Memphis, Navy and Cincinnati are ranked among the highest FBS teams. We are five from the absolute bottom. Excuses aside, why are we so low? These other teams have had ups and...

Dave Benedict has got to stop suggesting that UConn is "returning" to the Big East. The conferences are very different. They share the same name but the member schools are only partially the same. The culture appears different, too. In his new letter to fans he says, "There is tremendous...

Much of it is fresh produce, bread and yogurt. Other stuff is available. It is run by Foodshare. https://patch.com/connecticut/hartford/rentschler-field-turns-food-drive-site

Could ACC or B10 conferences look to expand after coronavirus outbreak impacts the bottom line. Could it be a time for more expansion given the economic conditions? Does a school like UConn have a shot?

He is doing it in Fairfield County. Great inspiration for UConn Nation in trying times! https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/sports/former-uconn-quarterback-dan-orlovsky-makes-grocery-runs-for-families-in-need/2241007/

Wanjiku N. Gatheru of Pomfret, CT was just named UConn's first Rhodes Scholar. Her major is in Environmental Studies, and she has minors in Global Studies and in Urban and Community Studies, all with a perfect academic record. Wawa is a Truman Scholar, a Udall Scholar, a UN-USA Foundation...

Columnist Mike DiMauro has offered a defense for Randy Edsall in the light of recent criticism from fans. It says in part, "Randy Edsall is not to blame for the disaster that has become UConn football. He was handed a grenade, whose pin was finally pulled in the summer when his leadership —...
