DH: go monarchs! Great baseball tradition. Some really good teams in the 80s and 90s. I wasn't highly recruited out of high school and wanted to go somewhere where I would pitch from day one, and odu gave me that opportunity and I ran with it.

VCU athletics director Norwood Teague said the university plans to give all of its full scholarship athletes the $2,000 stipend intended by the NCAA to further defray the cost of college attendance.
Teague said it will cost the Rams about $140,000. The money will come from VCU's NCAA tournament money and fundraising, he said.
"No matter what people's opinions and philosophies are, it's going to become a recruiting issue," he said. "We don't want to get behind in that area. We don't want (our coaches) to have a disadvantage, so we're going to be as aggressive as we can be."
