OT: Yale's James Jones: "There's a party in New England, and we're not invited."

The last school I am going to feel sorry for is Yale. Not UConn’s job to look after their athletic department - if you want games, buy them and stop whining about it. They do not want to pay for games, but they want these games on the schedule…and, oh, by the way, they’re not coming to UConn unless they get paid.

He’s 6-7, didn’t play last year and he talks like he’s some kind of Gonzaga East situation going….they can F off.

Could not agree more. Win the Ivy League and a game or two in the tournament and then talk like this. UConn owes you nothing.

Very interesting articles on the competence of the people they hire to manage the Endowment and how they boost its value.

Don't know much about venture capital and private equity or if that is possible for a state university, but nice if UConn could use some of the investing strategies.

Yale must pay top dollar for their investment CEO, I would think.

My daughter works at Yale after graduating from UConn. While working as a student in a Lab at UConn she had to request a $30 piece of equipment and went through layers of approval and lots of time. At Yale, she needed a $300+ item and her boss said just order it. We really do need to figure out how to get more research grant funds and remove as much of the state bureaucracy as we can from being an impediment. And sure a bigger, well invested endowment would also help.
