FOI #26-369 (06-1-26, 4:51 pm)

Monthly Travel for Football Team Employees

Name: David Covucci

Affiliation: FOIAball

Location: UConn Storrs

Request Date Start: 02/01/2026

Request Date End: 04/30/2026

Details: Pursuant to Connecticut's Freedom of Information Act (Chapter 14 Conn. Gen. Stats.), I am requesting the following documents from your university’s athletics department.

Any list, spreadsheet, or document maintained by the university or provided to the school by a third-party provider that identifies all commercial travel undertaken by employees of the school's football team and which is paid for by the university. (trains, flights, rental cars).

If this exists as an easily exportable monthly Anthony Travel report (my hope), I will accept that.

I would like to mention that I’m somewhat less interested in the particular costs of this travel, and do not want any lump-sum cost as an answer. Flagging that as I sometimes request that.

I’m hoping to capture the number of trips by individuals to showcase the full scope of travel by a football team in the offseason (e.g., recruiting staffers rented 17 cars).

I am requesting documentation from 2/1/2026-4/30/2026.

Please note that Connecticut law requires public agencies to respond to requests within four days of receiving them by either processing or denying the request, or providing written notice requesting an extension.

As I am an independent journalist engaged in legitimate newsgathering, I am requesting a fee waiver of any associated costs with this request. In lieu of a fee waiver, I am requesting a detailed invoice of any potential costs, if any, associated with this request.

Thanks,
David
