The 1960 Connecticut Huskies football team represented the University of Connecticut in the 1960 NCAA College Division football season. The Huskies were led by ninth-year head coach Bob Ingalls, and completed the season with a record of 5–4.[1][2] After the end of this season, it was discovered that a football player of theirs named William "Bill" Minnerly would be an individual that was involved with the 1961 NCAA University Division men's basketball gambling scandal as a go-between alongside two former University of Alabama men's basketball players.[3][4] Following the reveal of his involvement, Minnerly would be expelled from the University of Connecticut and subsequently be banned from playing in the NFL.
