as will II'll write another check the day I hear the announcement we've all been waiting for!!!
One has to wonder if we are left at the altar again what will transpire.Ditto (well I will increase my recurring contribution).
funds not designated for the endowment go toward current operating costs, etc., thus the endowment never increases by the amount raised each yearArticle confuses me. All that money should count as part of the endowment. The $21m should just go into the general endowment.
I don't like to drive and check my phone but with a subject like that I did pull it up... Couldn't believe they would email something like that.Did anyone else get the email from the UConn Foundation that said "A New Home for UConn Nation"?
My heart skipped a beat and I thought it was a Big XII invite. Nope, just a new uconnalumni.com

Seat donations - no way.
Increased giving? No.
I would like to hear some word from our admin that give a sh&t.

Not quite as epic a troll job as Houston saying there would be a huge announcement and it was like a sale at their online bookstore or somethingI don't like to drive and check my phone but with a subject like that I did pull it up... Couldn't believe they would email something like that.
The attitude you won't support football because we're not in a P5 leagueI hope you aren't speaking for yourself. If you are, you aren't much of a UCONN fan. No matter what transpires and however disappointed we may be I would hope true UCONN fans will continue to support the program
Many of us have been proudly donating for decades. Time is running out for some of us, but that is life. The summer fan and sunshine cheerleader make up the bulk of UConn nation. You can determine that by looking at the number of individual donors to the UConn Foundation and the Department of Athletics. The former AD was begging to get to 5000 donors just a year or so ago. I never heard if he succeeded. I suspect that if the Big 12 expands now and UConn is not taken, the Rent will look like it has looked over the past couple of years and the situation will get worse as time goes by.If we are in the AAC in 2 years I will increase my donation to mitigate the lost revenue from being in the G5. That is when our loyalty will be most tested. To paraphrase Thomas Paine, these are the times that try UCONN fan's souls. The summer fan and the sunshine cheerleader will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their university; but those that stands by it now, deserve the love and thanks of men and women. Obscurity in the G5, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

We're aware of that. Thanks.$375 million is not a good endowment. For comparison:
BYU: $1.47B
Cincy: $1.2B
Houston: $684M
USF: $387M
Also:
Pitt: $3.4B
BC: $2.4B
Cuse: $1.1B
WVU: $533M

$375mm also isn't our endowment. The correct number, easily found online, is $437mm.
