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

The total costs of all non-commercial air travel by members of your football team staff for the 2025 calendar year.

Please note, I am not requesting travel to and from regular or postseason games that involve the full team. I am solely looking at spending on non-commercial air travel for football staff on all work-related matters as well as any contractually guaranteed private jet time for personal use.

This would include any spending by the university that is stipulated in your head coach’s contract for personal use of private jets, any in-kind contributions of private jet hours from boosters or other individuals or entities, or any estimated totals or reimbursements from use of any university owned-or-affliated non-commercial aircraft.

If you cannot or do not estimate costs for donated hours or on university-owned or affiliated aircraft, I would appreciate any documentation the school keeps to track that matter.

For this request, I’m happy to agree to redactions relating to any personal privacy concerns regarding non-university staff or other information as I am only looking at costs overall.

I am happy to accept invoices or receipts from all travel, or a lump sum of spending. Whichever is easiest for your department.

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
