My name is Greg Chick and I'm the Editor-in-Chief of an online newsletter called NILnomics, where I analyze and share insights on college sports finance. I am writing to ask for a copy of the contract and salary information for the head coach of the current football, mens/womens basketball, and mens/womens hockey teams. Obviously if your institution does not have one of these sports I do not require any documentation for that team/head coach position. Any documents containing information about the head coach such as their employment contract, salary agreement, bonuses, appointment, benefits, etc. are documents I'm interested in. My goal is to know what each coach's base salary, benefits, potential (or past earned) bonuses, buyouts, and term (ie length of contract). I am requesting this as a formal FOIA request.

Good morning,
Pursuant to the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act 1-200 et seq., I am requesting access to the following records:
- a copy of all overtime requests submitted and approved by the UConn Health Center for the third quarter of FY 25
- any other documents on overtime submitted to the Office of Fiscal Analysis as part of the following report: https://www.cga.ct.gov/ofa/Documents/year/OT/2025OT-20250403_Agency%20Overtime%20Report%20FY%2025%20Q3.pdf
I am requesting these records in electronic format.
This information is not being sought for commercial purposes. As a member of the news media, I am seeking disclosure of these records for the purposes of informing the public on overtime requests by public agencies. I therefore asked that any fees associated with this request be waived, as disclosure of the requested information is in the public's interest. If this is not possible, I request to be informed in advanced if fees associated with this request exceed $15.
The Connecticut Freedom of Information Act requires a response within four business days. If processing any part of this request will take longer, please provide a time frame for when I can expect to receive records. I am willing to receive responsive records in batches.
If any part of this request is denied, please cite specific exemptions in each instance where access to records is being denied which you feel justifies the refusal to release information. Please also notify me of appeal procedures available under the law.
