Is Wolfie that scary?

We've all heard the rumors about Liberty getting ready to leave
the Big South...

But now there is talk about Coastal getting ready to bounce...

I know it's only rumors right now, but this can't be a good
sign. On the opposite end, the only team I've heard that is
looking to join the Big South is Kennesaw State (Georgia), which
means we'd lose the auto-bid. That might be enough of a push
for us to start thinking about getting into a more "local"
conference.

I'm sure Fiore has to be thinking of making a move for the
future of SBU football. I wonder where we are headed!

I hate to admit it, but the Big South always was a temporary
conference affiliation. And thats coming from me, an outsider,
not the Athletic Dept.
Here's to moving on to bigger and better things. I like
winning, but we were what 15-6 in conference play??? (guess off
top of my head)

Very close chairman! More like 19-4 :)
We should stay in the Big South a couple of more years to get
that auto-bid and then bounce to a better conference. Hopefully
Liberty and CCU don't leave yet.

It is going to take several years if it all before Liberty or
Coastal leave. So I think we will have some competition for
awhile. I do see us leaving one of these days hopefully to the
CAA in all sports.

I'm expecting only about 2 more years of the Big South. I
figure Liberty is going to start their transition much sooner
rather than later, and Coastal is having a bunch of internal
issues.

If Liberty and Coastal leave the Big South and we don't have an
offer to CAA, we might as well go independent.

If the Big South Football Conference breaks up and we dont get
an invite from the CAA we should think about jumping to the MAC
with Buffalo. Being an independent is a nightmare of scheduling
plus the players dont see any all conference awards. Only Notre
Dame survives as major independent.

I don't see us going independent, for all the reasons said
above.
There are plenty of potential conferences, depending on how much
we're willing to do. If we are willing to move everything, then
a lot of options open up. Our "periphery sports" are strong,
which gives us a selling point. The increased exposure of our
institution doesn't hurt either. If we look to move football
only, then options are different.
If nothing else, we should be keeping our eyes open, because
things look to be changing. And it appears to be sooner rather
than later.

I'm just saying I'd rather see us as an independent than in the
Big South minus Coastal and Liberty. I can't imagine justifying
the travel costs of Big South play when the conference wouldn't
even have an autobid to NCAA's.
There have been talks of Stony Brook to the CAA, so we might be
even further along than either Coastal or Liberty.
