Schools are cutting sports because of short-handed athletic budgets. UConn cut men's swimming and diving, men's cross country, women’s rowing, and men's tennis to solve budgetary problems. The men winning the natty and women getting to the Final Four was great but revenue from basketball won’t pay the bills.
Are you a Connecticut taxpayer?
The university is expected to lose $70 million in 2025. How much longer will people be happy to pay Geno and Dan Hurley’s salaries if UConn continues to operate in the red?
The flip side of funding is spending choices, and when the three highest paid CT employees are UConn coaches, one must question priorities.
