Businessman and UConn Huskies alum Robert Skinner has donated $15M to his alma mater, one of the largest gifts in university history.
The bulk will support both basketball programs to help them operate in ways commensurate with their success.

Kanye West and Lauryn Hill performing “All Falls Down” together after 20 years was a full circle moment. Ye originally wanted Lauryn on the track in 2004 since it drew from Mystery of Iniquity, but the sample wasn’t cleared. Two decades later, he brought her out at SoFi Stadium to finally perform it live together for the first time ever.
There is this British guy that is single handedly giving some of Italy's dying villages a new life.
He's 33 and from London. Couldn't afford to live there anymore so he moved to a small village in Sicily called Mussomeli (the one that went viral a few years ago for its €1 housing scheme).
He bought 2 houses through the scheme and has been renovating them himself, documenting everything on Instagram. Grew to around 800k followers across his socials in the process and now the mayor of a nearby town has reached out and asked him to partner up on a similar scheme there. They're planning to sell around 100 houses together, while also promoting Sicily to an international audience. He's also buying 3 of those himself, bringing his total to 5.
Channel 4 are joining him too btw, so this is now national news in the UK.
I'm frequently asked how hard renovation in Italy is. My answer is always the same, it's not easy, especially in smaller villages..but possible. This guy has done it multiple times over and in Sicily of all places.
He's even starting to look like a Sicilian.
In the newest ranking, Time Magazine has named UConn among its top universities in the world, making it one of only two in Connecticut to receive that honor, along with Yale University.
