Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 5029443, member: 153"] The state can decide how much it wants to fund athletics. If it is explicitly telling UConn that this money is being given to the school for the athletics shortfall, that's more than fine. I'm only saying that if, at the same time, the state is falling behind on funding UConn, then whatever deal the state is making with the school regarding support for athletics is coming at the expense of academics. If I give you $30 for breakfast and lunch and tell you that $5 of it is for ice cream, then the next year I give you $29 for breakfast and lunch and tell you $6 of it is for ice cream, well... then you have less money for breakfast and lunch.
