UConn/D'Amelio NIL Collective Officially Launched

[husky8273]

Is there any place online where we can find a breakdown of enrollment at each branch? Would be interested in finding out which is the biggest one.

2020-
18,917 Undergraduate at Main Campus
5,454 Undergraduate at Regional Campuses

https://uconn.edu/content/uploads/2021/01/INS-008-Fact-Sheet-010621-FY21.pdf

also - In addition to the approximately 3,900 first-year students expected to enroll at Storrs for fall 2022, UConn forecasts about 1,625 at the regional campuses: Stamford (650), Hartford (550), Waterbury (225), and Avery Point (200).

My daughter graduated from Marist, a biology major. When she attended grad school to become a PA, she said she was the most prepared person in her class. All her friends are successful too

Great school, underrated IMO

Lots of great restaurant choices up and down Route 9.

PS: Upstate NY begins with Westchester County

Great to hear. Thanks.

She’s the one you met, and to whom you were kind enough to gift one of the two tickets you gave me in the Bahamas.

I will be sure to let her know.

Ever pick your feet in Poughkeepsie?

 

[David 76]

I hope someone else is old enough to remember that. Great movie.

The fact that people really have skin in the game here defending/attacking Fairfield County is wild. I can honestly say I have never thought about whether it is "a part of CT" other than when I appled for jobs and figured it was close enough to family I should apply.

Born and raised in CT for 35 years and the only place I've seen this discussion is on the Boneyard.

 

[Edward Sargent]

Agreed, but where does “upstate” New York begin in your opinion?

If you live in Manhattan it’s The Bronx!

 

[Edward Sargent]

Albany is where I’d start to consider someone upstate

Funny my daughter has a store in Kingston which she named Upstate Capital Market. She recently renamed it Capital Vintage as she didn’t like the whole upstate vibe.

 

[Fishy]

Agreed, but where does “upstate” New York begin in your opinion?

There’s no real set point.

For people in the city, it’s probably 287. For Westchester people, it’s 84. For us, it’s 90.

But there’s also western New York and the Southern Tier, so ‘upstate New York’ might really just be the Adirondack State Park.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Time to lock this thread like the Gaffney to FAU thread.

This is turning in to a geography thread.

Fairfield county might as well be a different state. They consider themselves NY not New Haven or Hartford. They actually refer to anywhere in CT not in Fairfield county as “the upstate” and think it’s all back country. They don’t have any association with UConn unfortunately. Obviously a few exceptions, such as Marc, but overall it is not UConn country, sad to say.

Queue 10 page argument...

Lol

Corperate, huh?

Back on topic:

Giving $50k to UConn athletes for a Marc D'Amelio tweet seems like great business for everyone involved. Let's keep it going

You can drive the length of the entire state in less than two hours. There isn’t a part of the state that exists outside of the sphere of the state university’s influence and there is no population in the state that has somehow pledged fealty to another state.

The folks making broad, sweeping statements about how one part of your dinky-ass state somehow considers themselves part of another state look stupid. I admire their tenacity in trying to look stupid, but they should stop.

I agree it's a small state and UConn covers all of it. Having never lived in Fairfield county, my perception of the difference, such as it is, comes from the TV metro area. If your local news is from New York, and not New Haven or Hartford, that makes some difference I'd think. Perhaps in the internet era it matters far less than it did when I was at UConn in the 80s. People from that part of the state seemed somewhat blissfully ignorant of what was going on in the rest of it. I can certainly be wrong about this, but that's how it seemed then. Today, with all the CT papers and TV stations online, I don't think it's comparable.

This I agree with as a kid growing up I never saw anything on the news from Connecticut it was always New York news in Fairfield county. Now I don’t think anyone watches local news much so it might not matter but it did then

One example that's plausible is that over the decades the children of ultra wealthy people in Fairfield county grow up in Connecticut and are UConn fans. These children inherit the money and then give some to UConn athletics. Also, some people will genuinely use the endorsements of UConn athletes to help their businesses since the popularity of UConn is huge in the state. This is very valuable compared to colleges with less general support from the local community.

Bingo — if you grow up in Ridgefield, Wilton, Greenwich, and UConn offers the most exciting brand of basketball, we should win that mindshare over MLB or NBA. It’s just more entertaining, better quality sport. We might face more competition against the Rangers or Premier League, but UConn and the big East should own FC.

There may be some families that believe in Duke or Nova, but UPenn, Northwestern, MIT, liberal arts hoops is not capturing the imagination.

There are some huge fans down there. We need that demographic/growth in this era.

College basketball is a more entertaining, better quality sport than NBA.

I love UConn basketball more than any other team in any sport but this is just a ridiculous statement.
