Wow, you take an article in a newspaper and take it at face value.  You probably believe everything you read on the Internet is true, just like the commercial.  DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!

Even in the article you cited, Mike Enright said take the numbers with a grain of salt.  So you are going to ignore the $9+ million of the "subsidy" from students that is directly spent on student activities and not athletics?  Or, ignoring that other schools don't expense scholarships.

The best numbers I have seen from 2011 indicate that UConn subsidized the athletics department by ~$6 million.   I think at the time it was reported to be $15 million, but you have to subtract the $9 million for student activities and intramurals.  The McKinsey report pointed this out.

You clearly have an agenda against UConn athletics and I don't think facts are going to change your mind.  Yes, UConn has a deficit and it needs to be addressed, but it is not the number you are citing.
