Exactly! Well, except that UConn fired Ollie, NCAA violations, the same violations that the NCAA gave him a three-year show cause penalty for. And for lying to the AD, just as the NCAA found that he liked them. But other than that spot on!
Nope. Not close. No foreseeable end.
Great.
There never were any lawsuits. KO is arbitrating his dismissal. The arbitrator passed away so in many ways the whole thing is back to square one.
that hes a psycho manipulating pathological liar that had no empathy or relationships with any of his players. ran them into the ground and had the medical staff scared to step in to stop practices. strength coach bailed on him after one year. players were afraid to talk to assistants about the head coach due to fear of it getting back to him.
Do you think they'll be able to fire him with cause? Any ideas who they want in place of Brannen if that happens?
Not much. It is as high as it has ever been. Traditionally UConn has relied on the state's largesse to fund it so there was not a priority in fund raising and building up an endowment. The state's financial status that has changed so the university is increasing gradually but we have lost time value by not starting, say, 50 years ago. On average the market grows about 11% per year. Some of these big endowments are less a function of one guy writing huge checks than prudent investment beginning decades ago.
they are going to try. brannen lawyered up with a high profile guy. my guess is he'll settle for something less than a full buyout (which is 5.25m something UC doesn't just have laying around as an AAC school).
They play football.
For comparison sake UMass endowment is 900 million-
Amherst is 368 million
We are such a small state we can have a set up like North Carolina or other states with multiple campuses. That also is why UConn is such an expensive school for in state students
What took you so long?
I'd wager that there's been more recent construction activity on Cincinnati's main campus than on UConn's, including more than $150 million (privately funded) in stadium and arena upgrades. You might expect that of a state university with an enrollment of more than 45,000 students. But there's quality in addition to quantity. Forbes has listed the UC campus among the ten most beautiful in the United States.
One of the reasons UC scores relatively lower in USN&WR and other rankings is because it offers a lot of cooperative education opportunities, primarily in engineering and business, which are mandatory five-year majors (incidentally, UC pioneered the concept of cooperative higher education more than a century ago). Participating students gain OJT, earn income, and build their pre-graduation resumes, but those programs obviously affect the university's four-year graduation rates, an important metric rating entities rely upon to ascertain rankings. Perhaps you should be asking yourself why, if Cincy is ranked so low, it attracts more research dollars and has more successful alumni able and willing to contribute to the school's endowment?
