I believe a jumbotron from 2002 was too heavy for the Ryan Center roof- same goes for Gampel Pavilion.. However the newer ones are much lighter than the older hanging scoreboards being pushed 20 something years ago. I'm guessing the first monitor I had at work in one of my first real jobs in the 80...

UNLV was on a pretty dominating run there for a while weren't they?

just curious...will every single URI men's hoop team member get 'some' NIL?
Or, will there still be some Rhody players just playing for scholarship and nothing more?

Nailed it. Absolute perfection. UConn made $32.6M in basketball, and that's a drop in the bucket compared to what this revitalized run is getting them in terms of national exposure, enrollment, etc. They get it. URI has started to get it as well. UConn's institutional investments (and subsequent wi...

I don't think that's the Fordham thread people are referring to. The game in reference was played on Feb 5, 2017. This thread is from the game many years before that.

I posted this solution for the Ry months ago: The solution seems obvious. Re-do the roof so that it can be opened, closed, or set off to the side. When it's open, you would slide it over to cover the parking in front of the main lobby. Or, rotate it off to the football field side and you'd have some...

A comment about James Madison and their 35 point loss to Duke. This team played hard the entire way through. There were no easy baskets for Duke.

There are dozens of coaching changes each year vs thousands of kids abandoning schools. And tell the the last time you saw the same coach be a HC at three schools in 4 years? Being a college athlete is not a real career, it’s a temp job. Coaches are in this for 30+ years if they are lucky and need ...

PRT, if I was a college coach in an NCAAT game, I wouldn’t let my opponent go on a double digit point run (never mind 13) without calling a time out to settle things down or, make an adjustment or, make a substitution or, break my opponents momentum, etc. But that’s me.

My guess would be he has zero interest in coaching the pro game. News flash: He already is.... Yea, I guess. The semi-pro league(D1 colleges)still could be considered a coaches league where the NBA is a players league? Is the tipping point/difference when the players make more than the coach?
