This One Browser Setting Is Silently Sabotaging RIT Athletics—Are You a Part of the Problem?

The Invisible Wall Blocking Your Favorite Content

You came for the heart-pounding action, the game-winning goals, and the inspiring stories of the RIT Tigers. You're here to connect with the teams you love, but an invisible force might be actively hindering your experience, preventing you from seeing the full picture. What is this silent saboteur? It’s the ad-blocking software running on your browser right now.

While designed with good intentions, these powerful tools often cast too wide a net. They don't just block ads; they can inadvertently dismantle the very architecture of our site. This digital wall prevents us from delivering the high-quality, immersive content that every Tigers fan deserves. From exclusive video interviews with star players to dynamic photo galleries capturing the peak of the action, key elements of our coverage may be failing to load, leaving you with an incomplete and frustrating experience.

More Than Just Ads: The Engine Fueling the Coverage

Running a top-tier collegiate athletics website is a massive undertaking. The stunning photography, the in-depth articles, the live-streamed games, and the up-to-the-minute stats—it all requires a dedicated team and significant resources. The revenue generated from the advertisements on our pages is the lifeblood that fuels this engine. It’s what allows us to:

  • Travel with the teams to bring you on-the-ground coverage from crucial away games.
  • Invest in cutting-edge camera and broadcast equipment to ensure our live streams are crystal clear.
  • Support our student writers and content creators who work tirelessly to tell the compelling stories of our athletes.
  • Maintain a robust and fast website that can handle the traffic surges during a championship run.

When this revenue stream is blocked, our ability to provide this comprehensive coverage is directly threatened. The content you came here to enjoy is put at risk by the very software meant to improve your browsing.

You Hold the Power: Become a Champion for the Tigers

The great news is that you have the power to tear down this invisible wall in just a few clicks.
