Uconn receives record applications....Thanks Jim Calhoun
http://www.courant.com/news/education/hc-uconn-record-applications-0218-20120217,0,2817909.story
The University of Connecticut has received a record-breaking number of applications 30,000 — for undergraduate admission for the fall of 2012.
That is a direct correlation to the men’s basketball team winning the National Championship for the 3rd time in 12 years. The first time admissions spiked was after they won it in 1999.
It is also directly related to the men’s football team getting better and being part of the bowl scene.
So when people question how much money Jim Calhoun makes. When they question the wisdom of building a football stadium and whether it is a waste of money. Now they know. They can stop questioning it.
Good sports teams = National exposure. National exposure = People wanting to go to your school.
So get better soon Jim Calhoun because the school is depending on your success. Having smart Chemistry students doesn’t get you on CBS Saturday afternoon in front of the entire country. Nobody cares…... And ESPN isn’t spending sports center discussing the super intelligent literature majors. They are talking about Uconn Sports though and high school kids have taken notice. That is good for the school and good for the state.
Go Uconn!
