Remember this story (see link) from a few years ago? I didn't expect to ever be reminded of it when talking Rebel football, but I was and just looked it up:
A signature supporter of the Connecticut football program is demanding the return of $3 million and the removal of his name from the team's training facility... Robert G. Burton said he is upset with athletic director
Jeff Hathaway's leadership and that Burton wasn't consulted in the
recent coaching search.
What was most memorable from the story at that time was the reaction from all the "big time" programs and the comments that a booster like Burton (who had contributed a total of $7 million over a few years) would be considered so small time compared to the boosters "who matter".
Major UConn booster wants money back
