Robert G. Burton wants UConn to give him his $3 million back.
Burton gave the money to the University of Connecticut to build the Burton Family Football Complex in Storrs. Now, citing disagreements with the school's athletic director and a desire to be consulted about the new football coach, he wants that donation returned and his family's name taken off the facility altogether.

The whole story.
I know about Mr. Burton as he runs Cenveo, the fifth largest printing company in the country (at about $2.1 billion). He has a similar take-no-prisoners reputation in the industry as well (as well as a reputation for being a bit of a jerk).

It appears his temper tantrum is over and the University kissed his ass enough to appease he ego.

There's good news for UConn football. Bob dropped me a note the other day, indicating that both his family and the university have mended their fences. He will continue to back the university and the gridiron program.
