Perhaps it doesn't start with an "S", and then the answer could be Gamble? It would be nice to know what day this appeared.

It's not Gample, it's Storrs. It's in a book of Sunday NY Times puzzles

I find UConn very mainstream in puzzles, UCLA and USC are popular in crosswords as well in various forms.

Recently had a Rutgers reference in a crossword and I almost dropped over. That's rare.

Not Gamble or Gample.

Henry A. Gampel (or Harry)

And "What's better than aggresive?" Two gressives... I've got our grandkids eye-rolling all the time. What's better than eye-rolling?

That was Lou Holtz the former Notre Dame head football coach who previously had been an assistant at Connecticut.

It's a great line.

Just some humor. The board has been quiet and the post gave people the opportunity to contribute if they wanted
