Now, I’m a BIG college football fan and don’t want to see any CFB program disbanded, but you can only expect the student body fees and the state to bail out a program for so long. It is a HUGE drain on almost any athletic department budget. Don’t know how much UConn is losing on football every year, but it sure wouldn’t surprise me if it was 20 million or more. They draw very very few fans and the program is way behind most others in the AAC, with little talent in the roster or pipeline, so I don’t expect their attendance to be improving any time soon.

The question may be......do they take an extra 10 million dollar shot now or do they just continue to lose 10-20 million every year for the seeable future?

I think that it is a question that A LOT of schools are debating and not just UCONN.

It could even be a more crucial question if they actually go to where they are paying players directly. If they are losing money now, how much more would they be losing if they had to pay the players?
