Shrug.  That's helpful, I guess, but the notion that Connecticut coaches are going to drive perspective recruits from Storrs to Hartford to show them the "UConn compound" as a recruiting tool is pretty unlikely.

Personally, I think it makes zero sense for the state to pay the university so that the university can pay the athletic department so that the athletic department can pay the XL center so that the CDRA's annual multi million dollar budget deficit is artificially decreased.  Instead, if the state believes that UConn playing in Hartford helps the finances of the state capital, they should offer us use of the XL without charge and just pay the CDRA's annual multi million dollar budget deficit directly without routing a portion through the university.

All the money is still coming from Connecticut taxpayers either way in it avoids  hiding a portion of the CDRA's annual multi million dollar budget deficit in the athletics departments budget, which makes it less attractive as a potential P4 candidate.
