Irish fan on why UConn belongs in the ACC

[Sea Goat]

One thing that marks how serious and well set up a university is for future academic reputation enhancement is endowment. I believe Louisville's is about 1.2 billion dollars. And I think I have read somewhere that UConn's is about 370 million.

Consider that currently Louisville accepts 72% of its applicants and graduates about 51% after 6 years. What has any endowment done to alter this stark reality?

UConn's endowment is an issue (more so for the B1G)although it's not as importance for a State Flag ships as a private.
That's one target the administration is working on. The goal is to get over a billion in a relatively short period. NC are a big help.
Tulane ,SMU,Houston ,and Tulsa have endowments in the Louisville range.
The first two have far superior academics than Louisville. So I don 't think Louisville's endowment was much of a factor.
It's kind of like rating a women's beauty on the thickness of her wrists.

I certainly can admit when I'm wrong. Unless this board is in many ways nearly 180 degrees opposite from the UConn administration, my thread title is wrong.

I can also admit when I'm wrong. After your first post, I thought you might be a good poster. I was off by 180 degrees.

You're not really Irish, are you? I knew it.
