The University of Connecticut sold fewer tickets to its own appearance in the 2011 Fiesta Bowl than any other public school that has competed in college football's Bowl Championship Series over the past three years, according to bowl documents obtained by The Daily Campus.
The university sold only 2,771 Fiesta Bowl tickets out of its allotment of 17,500, absorbing $2.9 million in unsold tickets as a result. Both figures were far and away the worst of all schools.

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.

Although University of Memphis football player Derek Howard was suspended after his arrest for assault in January, the defensive back never missed a scheduled team workout, practice or scrimmage. His appeal of the suspension, through a policy for athletes arrested for a crime, was granted.

Though suspended following an arrest on assault charges in January, football defensive back Derek Howard never missed a scheduled team workout, practice or scrimmage and was granted his appeal to the suspension through a policy for athletes who are arrested for a crime.
He appealed to the designated committee under the Student-Athletes Conduct and the Criminal Justice System policy that was designed in 2007.

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.

Jim Calhoun and Geno Auriemma are worth a lot to the University of Connecticut, between the money they bring in annually in ticket sales and the publicity their programs bring to the school. But are they worth their own weight in gold?
Not based on their annual earnings.

The sun shone brightly on the unseasonably warm fall afternoon. If it weren't for the leaves' changing colors, the day could have been plucked out of June, not October. On what might have been the last nice Saturday for months in Muncie, surely there would be plenty of fans in Scheumann Stadium to cheer on Ball State against Central Michigan. The Cardinals had a winning record and were in the hunt for a conference championship and a bowl game.

For the past three years, The University of Memphis' football team has lost more money than any other sport.
By UNL senior staff, Kiah Haslett
Every year, the senior staff at University of Nebraska-Lincoln pick a topic to explore various ways for the student body as a special project. They have a budget for travel and special publication. This year, the staff picked UNL's move to the Big Ten and the school's lack of preparation for that move.
Haslett was a head editor on the project, and she helped craft story ideas and edit from start to finish. She also wrote one of the stories.
