Details: As part of our news-gathering process at The Athletic, I’m writing to make a public records request. As of July 1, NCAA rules allow schools to pay their athletes directly under the terms of the House v. NCAA lawsuit settlement. As such, I’m requesting:

*UConn’s payroll as it relates to the payments allowed because of the settlement. By payroll, I mean the list, spreadsheet or other such record showing which individuals are being paid, how much they’re receiving and any other related financial terms.

*UConn’s broader athletics budget as it relates to these payments. By that, I mean the athletic department’s budget per sport with the so-called House/revenue-sharing payments. Many schools have said publicly that they’re allocating funds in this manner with a certain percentage/dollar amount going to football, a different percentage to men’s basketball, etc.

In simple terms, I’m asking for the document or documents that show what your school/athletic department is paying with breakdowns by sport and by individual.

If you contend any responsive records are not public, please cite the specific statutory exemption that you believe applies. Email (mbaker@theathletic.com) is my preferred way to receive the records. Please let me know in advance if the cost for production exceeds $50 so I can inform my editors and potentially amend my request. Finally, I hope this request is straightforward and easy enough to understand. If, however, you have questions or require clarification, let me know. I’ll be glad to work with you to make the process as efficient as possible for everyone.
