We need another Shirley Strum Kenny…. under her leadership
our academics and research grew tremendously but she also
didn’t neglect athletics. Last two presidents only focused
on academic side

McInnis' tenure overall was very positive on the academic end
IMO, but would have liked to see more engagement with campus
culture and athletics.

Also I don’t like how things are going in CAA. CAA has lost its
shine. Best programs have moved on. I think next President
should start a serious conversation with MAC to be their 14th
member. Eventually I would love two more northeastern team to
join as 15-16 and solidify the MAC eastern flank. May be from
FCS ranks like Albany or Towson. Or a disgruntled FBS school
from another G5 conference like Temple.

True re academic side. And that’s why Yale is getting her. I’m
not saying she wasn’t good. She was great from academic
perspective and that should be the priority as a president of
learning institute. But she didn’t even bother to put a little
effort in athletics.

would you be surprised to see the caa merge with the america
east in the next five years i wouldn't. they dont get any
respect either. there was no atlarge taken from the caa just the
tournament winner with the regular season winner left out.

I would be very surprised if CAA and America East merge. It’s
neither feasible nor practical. It would be a bloated 23
members for a mid major conference. Historically America East
has been the feeder conference for CAA. So I don’t see those
teams including Stony Brook wanting to go back or wanting a
merger. And no way Southern teams would want to travel to Maine
and New Hampshire for olympic sports.
There is one possibility.. I give 5% chance.. which is a breakup
of CAA along north/south. A new conference of Stony Brook,
Hofstra, Northeastern, Drexel, Monmouth and Towson. Add Albany,
Fairfield and couple of more and it’s a premier northeast
mid-major conference.
What is more likely to happen is one of Albany or Fairfield
joining CAA replacing Delaware.
CAA should have been more selective in adding teams. I liked the
addition of NCAT and Monmouth. But I really don’t see what
Campbell and Hampton brings to the table. Adding those two were
a poor decision along with adding Bryant for Football.

i suspect youre right.
as the squeeze gets tighter on the non-P5 schools, there'll be
less money to go around. so that means- dropping sports or just
cutting travel. and you cut travel by not sending... women's
soccer, for example, on a flight every weekend.
local rivalries should hopefully thrive. bus trips might make a
comeback. but teams will get cut.

This is what we need!
I'm glad I was a student during her tenure. SSK was a great
president for Stony Brook University's growth as a well rounded
comprehensive state university
