Athletics as a whole

[RhodyinCali]

How would we rate our athletics program as a whole? First within New England and then within the A-10?

[Hal Kopp]

Near the top.
Need -1. east stands football
2. Outdoor track facility (1st class)
3. Hoops practice facility
4. New entrance way to Meade

[RF1]

At best, it is fourth in New England (23 D1 programs) behind BC, UConn, and PC for the sports they compete in. Mid pack in the A-10.

So,Rhody is in top 20%?
Not bad.
Never going to be UConn or BC unless alums start donating more.
Want to get in top 10%,start a fund raiser. I'll give. Doubt the critics on this board will.
Mayors cup hockey game b/w PC and Brown drew under 2K? If that's the gold standard,shouldn't be too hard to move up.

100% all of this!

[Hal Kopp]

PC does not even have a baseball or football team.
They have a hockey team that plays to a bunch of empty seats.
Rhody fans on this board,won't give a nickel to baseball,football or hoops,but want hockey!
Amazing.

Basketball

Soccer
