It was the right choice for them to recognize they are a basketball school.

A bunch of d1 football schools are bleeding $, UConn is not an exception there.
The whole d1 football industry makes little sense imo, they just pour $ into a bottomless $ pit, few teams are actually in the black iinm. There needs to be a major contraction.
Why do so many schools continue running money-losing programs? Alumni pride?
With ever-increasing tuition increases subsidizing these programs along with possible future enrollment shrinking as students revolt against the high tuition prices, perhaps we see some contraction as the tuition money train possibly dries up.
