Re: Rhody Football costs the university about $500,000
Current staff needs at least 5 years. The decision to drop to the NEC set back football at least 5 years, maybe more. URI football started to cut scholarships in 2011, to prepare for NEC, which thankfully did not happen. Freshmen that came in in 2012-2013 would now be RS-Juniors, but we lost those r...

Re: Rhody Football costs the university about $500,000
I don't think it is a coincidence that the two best programs, URI basketball and URI indoor Track have had the most success in the 21 century and the have best facilities, and maybe you can throw hockey into that equation also, maybe baseball also but baseball needs stands.
