Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
Shot in the dark here with too much time on my hands but Chris Conway from Oakland is followed by new AC. Again it is totally "reading the tea leaves" and I have no inside info or intel we are tied to him but could fit our undersized center MO. Is an inside back to the basket type player. ...

Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
Big fan of this pickup. While I'm hopeful to have Hammond as our primary 1, it will bee good to have a PG with true D1 experience in a power conference. Our roster has plenty of off ball guards to compliment. Looking at stats and a little video, his game is similar to freshman year Jeff Dowtin. He h...

Re: Assistants under Coach Miller 2022-23
I'm still standing by my stance that the media rights deal needs to be amended. A certain percentage goes to the school, the rest goes to the NIL. If URI needs to eliminate Olympic sports because of it, so be it. But the revenue generated for the school by basketball, needs to somehow get to the pl...

Re: Understanding the NIL
If they become employees do they even have to go to class and keep up a GPA? Do they even need to be students! Can you limit number of years of eligibility? Are there any limits you can put? I wonder how long they can limit the years since this all stems from not being able to limit ones ability to...

Re: Conference Realignment
What’s the application fee? Assume not $0. Add $1 to it for Collective = Boom. Like many have said the collective is a separate entity from the school. While it speaks with the basketball staff on who (the collective) should be communicating with, they are not one in the same and I think it would p...

Re: 3/12 | Saint Louis | 4:30PM (ESPN+) | A-10 1st Round
We've been playing like were up big wasting the clock. Reminds me of early DH days. And this is what happens, you miss a few buckets the other team makes them and you're out of time to make up the deficit. Took out foot of the pedal and paying for it.

Re: 3/12 | Saint Louis | 4:30PM (ESPN+) | A-10 1st Round
What just happened before that foul is exactly why we need a true point guard. Louis is just not cutting it as a 1. Slow walk up the floor followed by a lazy and bad pass into the post. Then to top it off his transition defense looked like he got stuck in the mud leading to an easy layup. I know it...

Re: 11/18 | Northwestern | 2:30PM (ESPN+) | Hall of Fame Tip-Off
Think as many have said, this game will be a good litmus test for the team. This will be a different level of size and athleticism from the first 3 games. Think we will need a solid showing from out of our guards on both ends and keep up the improved rebounding. I don't expect our bigs to be as domi...

Re: Why does our band get smaller each year?
Does anyone know if the band fraternity/Sorority Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Bata Sigma still exists on campus. Can confirm both do still exist. In my time, they generally were more affiliated to the Music program as a whole and parts of marching band. Did not have much hand in the pep band activities.

Re: Why does our band get smaller each year?
When I played in 70-71, we got a music credit for playing. Do they still get that? You get credit for marching band because it has 3 set rehearsal times a week like a class. If I remember correctly, the Pep band was not for credit as there was only a couple rehearsals outside of right before games.

As someone who cannot physically attend games, this flosports broadcast is killing me. Delay on audio, volume keeps coming and going, and stuttery video. Seems like the University could do better producing their own stream. I know it is a conference thing so no way to really change it. Go Rhody!

As much as I would love to see a full bowl, I don't see that possible with the space they have. The north endzone gets very close to both the Ryan center Ram lot and West Alumni Ave. With the new dorm in place, I don't see them rerouting or cutting off the road.

Whatever sport is being played we are gonna have to see some resemblance of a bubble situation so the travel isn't the issue.

I disagree, I think this is bad news for people who rent houses. The supply and demand is true but you are forgetting to factor in people's willingness to pay.
