Said the same thing of the FB board. I agree 100% on what this says about how far the academic side of our University has come.At risk of getting killed for the following comment, I think it says a lot that he chose UConn over Yale without a scholarship. I really do.
I know, I know..."we're competing against Yale?" and all that crap. But it still means a lot when you can beat out an Ivy League education. It means that people value the UConn education (which they should). And I know that Yale is 4 billion dollars per year, but I'm guessing they would have found a way to give him aid. A big decision by Dario, and in my opinion, the right one...![]()
Screw that! He can see those aprts of the country when he helps bring our Huskies into those towns and walk away with a W!Let's hope he is doing it for the experience of seeing the country, and not for additional options...![]()

Not to be a debbie downer, but it was reported that his SAT scores were not up to snuff and Yale was going to make him do a year of prep school before coming to Yale
So there may have been other factors besides purely academics
Ha ha. My thinking exactly. I hope his heart is set on Uconn. But you never know in the cut throat world of College Football Recruiting.
