Message: [QUOTE="whaler11, post: 2446743, member: 676"] I have zero beef with the students. I think they are getting beyond screwed with the fees like ZLS points out. I think it’s disgusting that students are saddled with bigger loans post-graduation because they are proping up an Athletic Department that completely botched cashing in on the school’s success. I can’t believe they haven’t revolted yet. I just disagree with the posters who don’t get the value of the support of the whole state. As UConn has gotten better academically and has moved away from just educating our hometown kids the rest of the state is more important than ever. I’d rather have more students at the Rent and XL for sure and I don’t really blame those who choose to stay home because there are way more options than when UConn blew up in Calhoun’s early days. Locking the basketball program up in Storrs just speeds up the demise. You need revenue? You need interest? Moving away from the population and the money might be a bit short-sighted. [/QUOTE]
