Gatorade National Player of the Year Signs with UCONN

[Unregistered]

That is an issue in all of higher ed, not just UCONN - huge salaries to administrators,and big name sports coaches, bloated staff, along with constant new construction projects - all driving college to unaffordable levels. some schools will have to upend their business models in order to survive.

So what. Fix it locally.......very easy. Hire new people. I would gladly take UConn job for half her pay.

Fire Those coachesfind a hungry coach looking to prove himself. Plenty of them out there that will take the job for 500k or 1/5 th of what you are paying those clowns

And your experience in higher ed is what? UCONN is lower than many state school presidents. Paying well below market rate won't get you the kind of talent and experience needed for a well run institution.

Coaches have certainly gotten way out of hand in basketball and football. But that's because those sports make huge money for the top programs. Also, many of those coaches could make fine livings coaching pro teams. And again, pay below market and you get below market talent (aka UCONN women's soccer).

This is a good piece on the administrative financial issues facing many schools today https://www.forbes.com/sites/carolin.../#66b37397456a

The role of athletics and the costs of running programs is also a discussion topic. Some schools are scaling back on athletics because it's a cash burner that is hard to justify (outside of the top sports and top programs). https://www.star-telegram.com/sports...202356619.html

Then there's the arms race to build nicer facilities. Kids don't need luxury dorms with pottery barn furniture. Sports teams don't need luxury training facilities - they aren't professional teams.

If you are looking to draw the best athletes you have to entice them with swag
Locker room, trading fields and gear they don’t get paid so the perks are all that separates you from every other school
No different than any other job want the best the perks matter

But then that comes at the expense of the majority of other students who have to pay higher tuition and fees. There's a great deal of backlash about this issue in CA right now.

Herbst hasn't done much good for CT or UConn. She is a huge example of entitlement. Just terrible

What are you talking about ? She is all about Equal Opportunity, even for dead people. UCONN was paying an $ 85,000 a year salary to a Professor who had been dead for at least several months. The Department Head that was in charge makes $ 300,000.

Susan was also on the front lines leading the Protestors regarding the Dreamers , making sure they received in state tuition rates. Illegals paying the same as legal citizens of the state. More Equal Opportunity.

Sounds like they need to hire more accountants

Who pays for college in CA? Thought Moonbeam made it free
Look around at all the buildings most paid for by $$$$ from sports
Ask the kids who go to big schools why they went - I want a big football school is often the answer
What happened to SMU when they lost football? The lost students and revenue
It’s just the way it is

It can't help that they probably have the highest % per capita of illegals who drain their public school funds, healthcare costs, college tuition system, and everything else. As long as it is all free and no one has to pay for it, give everyone 2 of whatever they want.

The UC system has 10 campuses. The Cal State System has 23 campuses. Needless to say only a few have big sports and not everyone cares about it either. SMU is a poor example since it had always had a big program so taking it away hurts. Plenty of good schools that are a good size don't have big sports teams and do just fine.

UCLA and CAL are the only ones that matter
UCSanta barb is a beautiful school but they don’t have highly paid coaches or any buzz

Way too much garbage for me to click through. UConn football suks. No way they should be paying 3mm plus for a coach. That sport can’t be bringing in a lot of revenue for the school. At Clemson or Alabama or ND, yes. UConn is never going to get a real top recruit. Middle of nowhere, garbage conf, cold weather, poor facilities and no tradition and very limited path to pros.

But they do have all black dorm though. Cutting edge and really sets the university apart from its peers. Good practice to, because I suspect in the future many educated blacks will chose to live in towns or housing that are all black. You heard it on talking soccer ct first. Ct is a trend setter.
