UConn won’t rule out cutting some sports to close budget gap - PAT EATON-ROBB, Associated Press

UConn won't rule out eliminating some sports to close a more than $40 million gap in its athletic department budget. Athletic director David Benedict, speaking before Saturday's men's basketball game with Tulane, said there remains a strong belief that UConn has become a nationally renowned university in part because of its sports success. But he said the athletic division must examine how it is structured. He says UConn will look at all opportunities to increase revenue and cut expenses before considering cutting a sport. https://www.macon.com/sports/college/article224808725.html
