It was a milestone for the University of Connecticut football program: the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona.
The 2011 Bowl Championship Series marked the first time the school had earned the Big East’s automatic bid to the compete in the series. And it meant the school would play Oklahoma, one of the nation’s most prestigious teams, in a nationally televised game on New Year's Day.

A new perk is available for University of Wisconsin athletes who make it to the Rose Bowl: a free flight to anywhere in the world. They'll have to fend for themselves wherever they land, and pay their own way back to campus.

A note from the author: In this story, I explore the reasons why the University of Montana is skipping a student body vote on a proposed increase to the athletic fee. Students voted down a similar proposal just one year earlier. The piece also shows how the university is cornered into paying for athletics Title IX compliance with student money whether it's a fee increase or a tuition increase because of an unhealthy athletics budget and the uncompromising nature of complying with Title IX.
