Message: [QUOTE="UDann, post: 4709082, member: 872"] Well Connecticut has many prep schools and private universities like most of the NE. Many of the wealthy send their kids to prep schools so they can attend private universities most notably Ivy League schools and those in a tier below. Yes UConn academics are excellent and an excellent choice but not everyone can get into Storrs. Many have to start at the branches in Stamford, Hartford, Waterbury or Avery Point.l and May choose another school. The extreme wealthy still don’t look at public schools so the endowment isn’t what it could be. Basically the wealth of Connecticut is divided and a lot of that money goes to private schools. That said we have proven over and over if we have the funds we can compete and thrive. Football with Mora will be in the top half in a short time. UConn is a great school with great academics. Athletically our weaknesses are simply due to not being part of Power 5. When we were we did just fine. Admittedly we had some poor hires which didn’t help. Maybe everyone else is afraid what we can become if we had the funds.. are you? [/QUOTE]
