Re: URI Rhode to Excellence Poll
The vast dollar amount of donations to the program here at least, are from a select few very affluent boosters. That's on a year to year basis. The rest is made up of a bunch of small donors like us. URI does not have many big donors nor a large fan base. That is not going to change, unfortunately.

There's no question that the staff will get players to fill out the roster.
The question is just how talented will those players be?
Everything depends on it.
How confident are we that it will be enough to turn things around?
Until I see it I can't expect anything. That's just the way it is.

As long as Hammond stays, he can leave and no one will lose any sleep.

Or better yet replace him with a defensive and FT coach.

1 million isnt going to be enough the way this is going.
Didnt St. Joe's get a mil a year for 2 years for their NIL fund?
I know they didnt raise that, but that's not the point.
If Dayton is paying their best player 650k, their total fund has to be well north of a mil.
