The football team took in approximately $15.2 million in direct revenue in the form of things such as ticket sales, game guarantees, radio rights, conference revenue and bowl revenue for the year

From what I read, the men's football & basketball and women's basketball made a combined profit of 9.3 million, I know that when you count all other sports that number will drop significantly, but shouldn't some of that money go to the basketball practice facility?

good article. it did a good job of explaining some of the descrepencies between the different numbers that schools claim for revenues

If I read the article correctly, the program only made 94k, and the other TV profits is only a prospective assumption. Nobody has yet addressed the new $2000/yr athlete stipend...that will cost football $160k alone.

Until UConn finds a new and stable home, I'd imagine any income will be stockpiled for the rainy decade savings account.
