Not fixing the stands should not equate to URI is dropping the program. How many years have the stands needed fixing --- 20? But the dropping the program rumor was not out there.
If it's not the stands there can always be something else to attribute dropping the program to if some recruiters are going to lie.

That rumor has absolutely been out there. Football coaches at URI have been complaining that competing programs tell recruits we're on the verge of dropping football since Floyd Keith. Or as long as the stands need fixing. It's not rocket science. Fix the stands, the rumor goes away. Don't fix the stands, other teams will always be able to use our lack of commitment against us on the recruiting trail.

But it's the first time that I have heard Fleming comment on the subject in announcing the year's recruiting class . Never done that before so something seems to have changed and/or accelerated.

Yeah, the end of his contract and the continued losing. He could afford to be positive at the beginning of his contract. Now that we're getting toward the end he needs an excuse if he can't turn things around.

This year is huge for Fleming's future employment at URI......although in his defense, what the administration gives him to work with here is quite pathetic......

Have they hired an OC yet? Or is that not in the budget?
