Vandalism and damage on UConn campus led to 15 arrests

Monday’s magical win was closely followed by campus madness. The high energy inside Gampel Pavilion spilled out onto the street where excitement turned criminal on the Storrs campus.

There were thousands of students and non-students who celebrated UConn’s Championship win safely, so the damage and vandalism were not a reflection of the actions of most. But students did admit, it casts the university in a negative light.

And the comments aren’t filled with racist comments. I wonder why..

Parents must be thinking that every penny of that tuition was well spent.

Not every UConn student did this, but the persons who did this is the UConn students. Shame on you

All animals. A reflection of Connecticut people.

Is he calling for a raise of tuition because some light poles went down and windows got broken? Come on bro. He could've set up anywhere else on campus and everything is fine.

Of course. Almost similar to what happened when the Chicago Bulls won their 1992 NBA Championship in a 2 peat (back to back championships--they won previously another championship in 1991). Like they did in some parts of Chicago, on parts of the UConn campus, cars were overturned, fireworks were whistling or exploding, incidences of pillaging, some rioting and other acts of disorderly or hooligan-y behavior.

I want them put in prison and expelled from UConn.

I feel embarrassed by them and how proud they are .. where do you think uni getting money from to fix the stupid damages ???? If this going to happen every time UConn wins then I hope they lose every champ until I'm out of here
