Re: URI Baseball 2015

I believe that it is on the pr dept. at URI. It seems like the sports at rhody other than bb and fb are not pushed the way other schools in RI are. The news and the projo either hate us or are not getting the info forwarded to them. I think it is the latter.

Re: Bernadette's contract extended

Overall she has done a very good job with one major exception. Allowing the ACC to take our spot at Barclay and getting only a token amount of games against them and played there. Then to make it worse she put Forham in the game.

I really don't think we are in a position to protest. Maybe some wins and we could set some terms with a school like UMASS.
If it is less money we may be making that up by saving on travel expenses. Flying to Marshall with 80-100 players, coaches, trainers, etc. is a big difference from a bus to MA.
