Amazing!
Like clockwork, the 2nd half comes and they switch into a super human overdrive and totally take over
I got the all clear text from my son about 1:30am so I could sleep 🛌
Dare I say……
3 peat??? 😳
Uconn
TOTALLY a worthwhile investment
The $$ generated from being a 2 time in a row national champion is huge
Their upcoming schedule this year is loaded with huge TV paydays
The amount of students that want to come to UCONN and spend $$ and put that $$ back in to the state fund is huge
Have you ever been to Downtown Hartford on a Saturday UCONN mens bb gameday? Or any other day?
The usually empty bars and restaurants are packed!!!!
Like it or not, college sports is BIG BUSINESS and the state of CT is smart enough to treat it as such

But it starts with taxpayer money. So with all that success and big money, does the taxpayer receive a check back with a percentage of the profits? A return on their "investment"? Where does that profit go? Don't answer that!
Ultimately the taxpayer funds for other to reap profits.
Just saying.

Why does everything need to be viewed as whats in it for me and money, money, money?? Its kinda odd to think you can or should get a return dividend on every dime spent, no?
I’m sure my sons tuition bill at UConn is going up and I will be directly affected but I’m not complaining 😎

All money from the NCAA tournament is divided among Big East member schools.
Every campus in the country has packed bars when their teams play.
Let's see how happy taxpayers will be when coaches and players are paid more than the governor!!!

You made that decision with YOUR money, NOT mine as a taxpayer. This is the exact point that I try to make each and every time. I have little to no concern how you spend your money. You earned it, therefore it is none of my business. On the flip side, I find it abhorrible when someone spends mine besides my family and I.

I'm happy this was all in the off-season.
I think the NCAA should ban football coaches from jumping ship between the last game of the season and the bowls.
As far as college coaches around the country making more than any other public employee, for the last 5,000 years or so, since civilization replaced almost all the hunter-gatherer tribes, we, as civilized humans, have decided that it is in everyone's best interest to pool resources and have a small few decide what to do with those resources. Is it always fair? Of course not. But Conn.'s budget is large enough that whether UCONN pays their coach $3 million or $7 million a year will have no effect on tax rates regardless whether a successful team has overall benefits that offset the salary increase.

OK, now that we hopefully got past all that….
What do you think this season will bring?
My opinion is a three peat will be extremely difficult if not impossible
They will have a target on them every time they step on the court and every team they face will be motivated by the opportunity to be the team to take them down

Yup..... plenty of money for everything.

CT higher education advocates continue to sound the alarm over proposed state budget cuts
“Without long-term, sustainable, viable funding, our system will continue to be in a very dangerous and precarious position,” said Terrence Cheng, chancellor of Connecticut State Colleges and Universities.
