• CSCU has a nonprofit to financially support students; it doesn't appear to do anything (insideinvestigator.org) — A little-known foundation tied to Connecticut's state college system was until recently registered to an apartment building in Rocky Hill, raising questions about its transparency and activity. Reporters found the nonprofit has amassed sizable investments while offering minimal scholarships, sparse public records, and unreachable leadership, all as state officials promise tighter oversight of affiliated foundations and nonprofit earmarks.
   

• UConn's Dan Hurley continues to land top high school recruits (thehour.com) — UConn men's basketball coach Dan Hurley spoke at a Middlesex County Chamber of Commerce breakfast at the Sheraton Hartford South in Rocky Hill, outlining his strategy of blending elite recruits with player development. He detailed how recent five-star commitments, transfer portal decisions, and possible NCAA rule changes could shape future Huskies rosters, while also updating fans on injuries ahead of the upcoming exhibition against Syracuse.
