Have confirmed this. Huge news out of Kingston today, AD Thorr Bjorn is leaving URI for UMass.
In his 18 years, Thorr helped revitalize a football program that some folks wanted to cut. Hired Dan Hurley who brought Rhody to an NCAA Tournament. Won multiple conference championships across many sports. Brought huge upgrades to URI facilities and much more.
Huge loss for URI, big gain for UMass.
