Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 3570615, member: 9403"] Speaking as an outsider, the only reason UConn has been on my radar as a sports school has been basketball, and in the last 5-6 years, just the women's team. If UConn runs a $3.5m deficit to get 11 national championships in 25 years and all the good press and attention that provides, I'd say that's an investment well spent. But if you're running a $13.3m deficit -- almost $10m more than women's basketball -- and you have nothing to show for it but disappointment and embarrassment, then it's time to question whether that expense is helping or hurting you. At least the WBB team delivers for fans year after year after year. I'd venture to say UConn WBB's $3.5m deficit is the best $3.5m spent in all of college sports. [/QUOTE]
