How will Connecticut pay for a new practice facility?

Per a 24/7 Wall St. article Connecticut is ranked #9 in the "10 States That Can't Pay Their Bills."

i'm pretty sure Connecticut isn't footing the bill. IIRC they have about $16 million in private donations and i was reading on the MCBB board (or maybe it was the FB board) the other day that another large donation will be announced in the coming few weeks. i think once the break ground and people realize it's going to really happen, more donations will flow in. hopefully even some of the NBA folks will pony up some serious $$...

Right; it must come from private donations.

As I said in a different thread the other day. Penn State received an $88 million dollar gift for the ice hockey programs at PSU from the owner of the Buffalo Sabres. Come on CT $88 million for hockey someone up there must be able to top that for basketball.
