No SEC & Big 10 isn’t surprising. I read somewhere today that UConn athletics is most likely going to stop funding all of their club sports & they are hemorrhaging $ mostly due to football.

Football & basketball are no longer college sports - they’re minor league pro leagues so they’re exempt. No one bets on the remaining college sports, so this is all for showtime. 😵‍💫

Posted the above over a year ago. Not because I liked it but because I saw no other remedy.

UCONN is not hemorrhaging money.
They are making millions on Men's and Women's Bssketball.
However, these are very costly ventures and Football is also expensive. Coaches, full scholarship allotment, travel etc.
They are just cutting out anything deemed non essential so that they can focus and fully fund the most important and publicly visible sports.
UCONN alum just donated $15+ million for sports programs. They are building sports facilities at a fast rate on campus: Beautiful new baseball, softball, soccer, field hockey and ice hockey facilities. Golf is next.
Spending $100 on Gampel Pavillion improvements.
The Downtown Hartford arena (People's Bank Arena) just had $40 million in improvements.
They are building and funding for future Power 4 invite. These investments are not to stay in Big East. They already have best facilities in Big East. Its investing in future. They WILL LEAVE BIG EAST. Might be in 5-8 years but it will happen. Current situation is not long term sustainable.
They're just making the tough decisions on stuff that is non essential to overall goals so they can continue history of on field success.
I think this is what most big time school are doing.
UCONN is far better of than Rutgets which generates huge revenue but is still tens of millions in the red and has no history of on field success or big time reputation anywhere even close to UCONN.

It all depends on UCONN football. Can a successful MAC coach make it happen at UCONN. The landing spot is the ACC if Clemson, Florida State and Miami will let them in.
