Affiliation - Acme Research

Under the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act, we formally request that your office provide us with public spending information, including both capital and operating expenditures, for payments made by or on behalf of The University of Connecticut Health Center during fiscal year 2024. Specifically, for any payee other than a regular employee or student paid a cumulative total amount of more than $5,000, we seek the payee name, address and the cumulative total
dollar amount paid to the subject payee over the relevant time period. The $5,000 threshold was established to minimize reporting for respondents. This is the same format information that Kayla Postler was kind enough to provide via email for fiscal year 2023.
The information is to be used for research aimed at identifying patterns of spending by public entities. No part of the data will be used as a mailing list and your supplying the information cannot be construed as an endorsement of either your payees or our work. Of course we are willing to reimburse your office for any reasonable expense incurred in preparing the requested information if an estimate of costs is provided for our approval before
the work is performed. We would prefer to receive the data in CSV, text, PDF document, or Excel spreadsheet attached to an email, via our file sharing website to our secure server, or on PC-formatted media sent by mail.
Should you have questions or need to advise us to redirect this request, we can be reached at 800-810-3846 or via e-mail at HigherEd@acmeresearch.com. Kindly confirm receipt of this letter and contact our office to let us know your time frame for a response. Thank you for your assistance!

Name - Matt Brown

Affiliation - Extra Points

I would like to file an Open Records Request for the following documentation:

1) The number of scanned tickets for home men's basketball games AND football games at your sponsoring institution for the 2022 and 2023 football seasons and 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 basketball seasons. This is not the number that is officially reported to the NCAA for attendance, but the number of tickets scanned at the event.

2) Copies of the most current athletic department vendor agreements for all vendors in the following categories:
* Athletic department travel (including but not limited to: travel agencies, hotels, charter bus companies, etc)
* Software used for NCAA compliance
* Concession management
* Official athletics website design and management
* Graphic Design
* Social media account management
* Event ticketing and ticket management
* Advanced stats (i.e shot tracking, pitch velocity tracking, football play tracking, etc)
* NIL education and compliance services
* Pouring rights
* Video editing, clipping and distribution services
* Search firms

3) Finally, the most current contract for all full-time assistant coaches of UConn NCAA sponsored sports: Contracts for staffers who are not employed full-time in an on-field coaching role (i.e, operations, player personnel, etc) should be considered not responsive to this request.

The purpose of these requests is to compile a contract database to assist researchers who are studying finances in college athletics and need more granular data beyond what is collected in FRS reports. Any personal identifying information can be redacted.

I understand that this is a broad request. Should your office require fees or additional clarification, we would be happy to pay/assist in that clarification.

This request is being made on behalf of a media outlet (Extra Points / One Catch Zero Yards LLC).

Thank you all, and have a wonderful rest of your week.

All the best,

Matt Brown
