I'd suggest just returning it to the Ag school it started as, but cows are destroying the climate

Susie directs our attention to this Greenwich Time article that examines UConn’s sports programs’ $42 million deficit

In 2019, UConn athletics ran a $42.3 million deficit that was fully subsidized by the university — $8.8 million through student fees and a whopping $33.5 million from direct institutional support (state funds, tuition, endowment income, etc.).

Juxtapose that against 2005, when the athletics department received just $9.5 million in subsidies — $6.05 million in student fees and a mere $3.5 million in institutional support.

The numbers have grown every year since. In 2013, UConn’s final year in the Big East, athletics took in an institutional subsidy of $9.1 million.

The following year, UConn’s first in the American Athletic Conference for nearly all sports, the institutional subsidy had doubled to $17.2 million. Three years later, it was over $30 million, and the entire subsidy has been in the $40 million range each of the past three years.

Eliminating all of the shool’s liberal art courses, any science classes that reject “the whiteness of scientific reasoning”, 1/2 the administrative staff and all diversity counselors would be great, but as a small step to defunding UConn, start with football:

“In 2019, UConn football had $16.6 in operating expenses against a mere $3.3 million in revenues. No other sport at the school came even close to operating at such a deficit.”

The disaster began with University’s decision to become a maj0r football power and the 2003 opening of the $92 million Rennselar Field stadium in East Hartford. Two related boondoggles that continue to this day.
