PROVIDENCE --

The brother of the founder of a sports institute under investigation by state police says he contributed $100,000 to settle the nonprofit's debt to the University of Rhode Island.

Michael Doyle said Friday that he had been unaware that the Institute for International Sport owed URI nearly $381,000 for unreimbursed payroll costs and other expenses. He says he made the $100,000 contribution when he learned of the debt.

Doyle is the brother of West Hartford, Conn.-resident Daniel Doyle Jr., who established the institute in 1986.

URI has said the debt was settled. Daniel Doyle has not said what funds were used to pay it off.

The only statement from Doyle's family on the debt was issued on March 2 by RDW Group, Inc., a Providence communications firm where Michael Doyle serves as chairman.
