Hate to say it but UOP is halfway down the drain and sinking fast….
The funding for the program was cut dramatically which basically left them hanging out to dry. Too bad when the list of former UOP coaches includes names like Ray Looze and Greg Meehan, and they lost a good one in Peter Richardson too throughout these budget cuts.
