They've updated the season ticket information for next season on the website. Looks like prices will remain the same and there will be no reseating this offseason. April 1st is the early bird renewal deadline.

......I am in.....the outcome of this season has no influence on purchase....

^ditto

I was worried they were gunna move the young alumni or jack up the price. Glad they didnt!!

Right now I'd rather stand at center court and light the money on fire, bill by bill. Then do the same with my RIRAA contribution. Then do the same with the money I spend on gasoline, meals etc. THAT would give me more pleasure than another season of this.

Well, Houston, we have a problem.....a lot of empty seats are the future......that helped JB out the door......and considering how much of that seat revenue URI is giving Dan as part of his contract....the bean counters aren't going to be too happy.

Yeah, I was at least going to get a mini plan so I could see the PC game...but nah.

Normally I would be inclined to stop my donation to the BB program......but maybe we can start a FIRE HURLEY fund.........I would increase my donation if it would go toward buying him out.

Am still in on the tix...I may be disgusted, but I'm not that bright either....

Looks like I picked the right season to give up my season tickets.
NO regrets at all.

Just watch the games on TV they are all on

Was first year I had bought season tickets since 2005. Guess who isn't buying them again. THIS GUY!!!! Last night was the last straw. 18 years and counting

If they're smart they'll put off the renewal until the end of the summer so the wounds aren't so fresh. Their best shot at getting any kind of percentage of returners is hoping for some short memories or cases of dementia.

I'm not renewing, Thorr needs to be fired. the whole athletic department underperforms.

I wasn't going to say this...but I've heard that money is being taken from other programs to help pay for the BB program's shortfalls due to lower than anticipated ticket revenue....that has to go to Dan as part of his contract.

I was told of a couple specific instances so far......this could be a really bad development for the entire athletic dept.

Things are going to get worse next season.....URI has really screwed themselves with this coach's contract.

This school reminds me of the Red Sox. After LA bails them out of ridiculous contracts, they get right back into new bad contractors.

Well I doubt that URI or it's BB boosters will come up with 4 million to dump this guy.

As with Baron, the natives are getting restless......but that's a lot of money.

I doubt it is $4MM. I would be shocked if there isn't offset language in there. And I doubt DH wants to sit on his hands for four years. My guess is that they would settle for half. Still a big number but not crazy.

There is offset language...but where would DH go?

Even with that, it's still a lot of cashola for URI........

I think you need to start listening to other people. Any shortfalls in ticket revenue are being covered by the URI Foundation, not other athletic programs. It sounds like the people you're listening to have sour grapes that they're not allowed to mooch off of men's basketball as much as they planned.

This could work knowing the age of our fan base
