Its not about care or values... UCONN frankly over stretched with $$$


It is a small state, the campus is remote part of conn away from most of the population, in a state where there is a high number of commuters to NY or boston, so there is no time available for football.

Conn is not a large university with a large alumni base. they played for so many years with Richmond JMU and W&M and did great. They were big east in everything else. They hoped they could ride the big east (and its subsidizes to move football to big east football). They got the state to buy a new stadium (but the state required it to be closer to the cities and far from the university. Then the Big east collapse and they had no where to go....

football is costly, and is questionable at UCONN. if they want to maintain it, they should return to the Colonial and join their peers like Delaware Hoftra and Rhode Island and New Hampshire. or they can be like Northeastern and cancelled the program.
