I already addressed everything in this discussion except the last part. I addressed them by mentioning all the other schools that are doing just as well as UConn without a sports brand. Heck, Vermont is now at well over 50% out of state and they pay exorbitant sums to go there, and their applications are through the roof. Since I already write that and you apparently don't agree, let's skip to the last part.

I can tell you this with 99.9% certainty: Presidents who get paid $1m+ a year to oversee a university (75% of their job is budgeting, a thing they fundamentally can't do themselves) are not going to upset politicians, students, alumni, athletes & the Board of Trustees in order to address something that occupies only 5% of their time on a regular basis. In other words, people who upset the breads & circuses crowd get the heave-ho from their position. We've seen this not only up north, but in the south with 2 recent examples at Texas A&M and U. Alabama Birmingham. Most of them just try to avoid discussion of it altogether.
