All options, best as I understand, include cutting at least four sports, asking the university to assign a reduced price tag to scholarships, taking measures to reduce operating expenses and perhaps riding recent fundraising success to the preservation of some sports that otherwise would have been axed.

Hmm seems like Dave has been reading the Boneyard.

Reducing the way the scholarship cost is listed makes a lot of sense.  That is essentially an intra-company accounting figure.  Likewise "reducing operation expenses" may include restructuring the cost of the use of the XL and the Rent, which I have long argued for on the board.  Our above market lease rates masks the CDRA's inability to run those venues efficiently and makes the athletic department losses look worse then they are.  Personally, I like Auriemma's suggestion that UConn and the CDRA split the profits of having UConn play in Hartford rather than having UConn lease the venue.
