A lot is being made about UConn, the state budget, and where it may leave Husky athletics. My “UConn” Tweetdeck column has had way too much garbage in it about this situation, so I’ve put together some answers to common objections to funding the state’s flagship school.
Myth #1: Why does UConn keep asking for more money while the state is struggling financially?
#Actually, UConn has endorsed a state budget that would cut its funding by $100 million, on top of over $100 million which has been cut from its budget since 2010. The school and administration are aware of the state’s economic situation and are prepared for cuts.
