You are correct that it is in the middle of nowhere and the campus is so-so at best. There is a cool little downtown about 15 minutes away with some good bars and restaurants. For people in RI it is far from Providence but for anyone else in the world it is about a 35-40 drive from Providence (For Rhode Islanders anything over 30 minutes away is an overnight trip for them).

URI is not a bad job. He does have talent coming back and probably still sits at or close to the top of the A10 as recent powers of UD and VCU regroup. May not be a bad idea to let the dust settle with the NCAA/FBI thing and wait for a P5 destination job.
UConn's NCAA issues are not FBI related, they are run of the mill recruiting violations.
