The 1960 Connecticut Huskies football team represented the University of Connecticut in the 1960 college football season. The Huskies were led by ninth-year head coach Bob Ingalls, and completed the season with a record of 5–4.[1]
After the end of the season, an investigation revealed that William "Bill" Minnerly, a player on the team, 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.[2] Minnerly was expelled from the University of Connecticut and subsequently banned from playing in the National Football League (NFL).
