UConn applications have risen when Huskies basketball teams perform well, numbers show - Hartford Courant

"An analysis of data from the UConn admissions department shows that the school has seen sharper increases in applications to its Storrs campus following years when the Huskies’ men’s basketball team has won a championship or posted a strong win-loss percentage, when the women’s basketball team has won a championship and when either program has improved significantly from the previous year. Conversely, year-over-year application increases have been more modest following years when those programs have performed poorly or regressed from previous levels. "

Lions and tigers and bar graphs Oh My!

PR following the budget deficit news.

Out of state applications spike after a ton of free media coverage --- geez, who knew !!!

The more significant number would be how many of those out of state applications translate into graduates who actually STAY in the state after graduation.

This is not rocket science.

The rise in state university system applications nationwide is a direct result of economic conditions which limit choices.

Patrick Ewing as well. Georgetown was a small Jesuit school until the basketball program exploded.

I understand Malloy has asked the Patriots to matriculate at UConn. Or is that just a rumor?
