Could U.S. Sen. Chris Dodd wind up in the president's office at UConn?
The university will soon have an opening at the top and the state's senior senator will soon be looking for a job.
One prominent politico in the state, who wished to remain anonymous, says there are already "serious conversations" about Dodd landing in Storrs.
Dodd's office says he's too busy with the financial reform overhaul right now to worry about his post-Senate career plans.
"The Senator believes that Michael Hogan has been a strong leader of the University and that the next President will be able to pick up right where he left off,'' Dodd spokesman Bryan DeAngelis said in an email.
"Senator Dodd is focused on passing his Wall Street reform bill, which is currently being debated in the Senate. He is not focused on what he will do after his Senate term ends in January."
