UConn cuts some sports teams

Donate To GopherHole

UConn has been struggling financially for several years, I think Geno even gave some money back a couple years ago. I know they have a BB tradition, but when Geno is done, I don't ever see them getting back to their most recent levels.
 

Appears to be eliminating more men's sports than woman's.

I suppose a lot depends on who they get to replace him. They’ll always have the name now, just like Tennessee name still draws women’s basketball players no matter who is coaching.
 

Agreed but just like Pat Summit it's difficult to replace her tenacity. I prefer more parity in any sport and changes in coaching make some of that possible.
