there are some unrestricted funds made to university endowments. If UConn can turn football around and get into a power conference adding to coaching salaries will pay for itself many times over.
When I read statements like this, I become mad. UConn used to pay competitive salaries 10 years ago, but not anymore. How many teams on UConn's schedule this year do you think UConn pays their assistants more than? 5, Georgia State, FIU, Sacred Heart, James Madison and UMass. And the assistant coaching pools at FIU and Georgia State are 20% and 10% less than UConn and UMass is about 25% less. We do not have a spending advantage on our competition.
True it’s like turning around an aircraft carrier, take time and care.

Well, that's a relative term in the world of major collegiate football. I'd argue that he needs 10-20MM in discretionary funding to be competitive in the NIL space. And I understand that the University per se does not 'control' NIL; I'm thinking more of a notional amount of firepower available from collectives and/or donors (for things like coaches, facilities upgrades etc). Right now the State and student fees are doing a lot of work and that can't be the case if we want to be truly competitive at the FBS level. And our collective is......well the less said the better, at least insofar as football is concerned.
What would the Title IX implications be of a football-specific endowment ?
There is no official DC. I think it’s detracting from Mora ‘s overview duty. Just way too many blown assignments and miscommunication. Someone needs to be more focused with them.
He looked good the last drive. Hopefully he has gotten some confidence
Even if I’m wrong about that, the rest of what I said holds true. The program has a stink on it and I’m sure it’s hard to get good coaches no matter how much money is offered (which I also said in that comment).
Saw a shot of Houston and Brewton on the sidelines early in the season, both were yukking it up during a game that was very competitive, and we were losing, NCST. My thought was those guys are way too happy given the situation. I think I was right.
You are about as naive as they get. Who do you think decides where the funds go? The institution expresses a need and the funding organizations take care of it. You have made a distinction without a difference.
I have been told on this bard that using University funds to pay for NIL is the single thing that is against the rules. That could be wrong, but that was what was said her. UConnJim perhaps?
That is correct, you can not use university funds for NIL. Obviously, there is a relationship between the collectives and the athletic department/teams.
Ok, he was fast. Doesn’t excuse they way they played him.
To further this point, University of North Dakota which is only 500 acres compares to UConn's 45000 acres in physical side which a fraction of the enrollment has an endowment of 380million. It's a much smaller school but only has half of a "top public university's" endowment? The math isn't mathing. Not to mention the state is much more willing to invest in the school, they just approved 100 mil in the budget to build a new STEM building. UConn's biggest problem is everyone in Hartford.
Upgrade is probably premature, but he looked good.
