Werth Family Donates $4.5 Million: The Werth Family Donates $4.5 Million Toward UConn Basketball Practice Facility - Hartford Courant
The basketball practice facility has long been an issue at UConn. Despite its high-profile programs, the Huskies have fallen behind other schools in terms of a practice facility.

Shenkman Training Center for football, is viewed as a selling point for years to come and a vital part of keeping the programs moving forward.
