Trouble Ahead for Non-Power 5

[FfldCntyFan]

UConn obviously needs to start cutting sport teams. A list has to be compiled. Money makers hang around. Money losers go away. Not hard really, just like every business that has ever existed.

Outside of some good years in men's & women's hoops and a handful of football seasons, what sports that we sponsor at a varsity level are not money losers?

Another question (with no definitive answer but still a value that can be somewhat quantifiable):

What value, in terms of promotion of the school has the success of the men's and women's basketball teams (and all other sports for that matter) provided this decade? Conservatively, publicity such as what we've received over the past five plus years would cost tens of millions of dollars.

Say wha?

Rutgers loses 2x as much money as UConn.

College athletics just isn't so cut and dry. FCF notes that athletics has enormous value to our University. I personally don't think that my degree is from the 19th ranked public institution without JC. Rewind to being a fallback in-state school still taking classes in the non-renovated Arjona! You've never taken a class at UConn until you've been in Monteith and Arjona!
