That was my point because those are big ticket items and there’s
many more reasons so I don’t seeing it happen either

If you build it they will come.
Like any business, while fundamentals matter, building is what
you want to become. What you are now doesn't matter as much.
If SBU's administration and board of trustees decide that going
FBS matters. We're going FBS. That's it. Attendance NOW doesn't
matter, just like it didn't matter to Buffalo, or UConn, or
UMass, or any other mid-tier public that I think matches SBU in
this region. Even Rutgers wasn't prepared for the Big10 when it
got picked up (remember Rutgers, the Big East doormat we used to
beat in a host of sports?). Now they've ascended to relevancy
(not the top of the Big10, but at least not an active drag).
SBU academically could say the same. It was always "fine"
academically, but people like Shirley Kenny felt that it should
be bigger. You can respond that donors did all that, but no one
bets on a limping horse at the track.
If the SBU leadership, notably its board, wants it to go FBS, it
will. That's it. As we have seen during other periods when
emphasis was put on these programs, the turnout will come if the
school pushes for it.
Right now I get the feeling that SBU doesn't know what it wants
to be, but it's probably a concern a lot of schools our size
have in this new NCAA environment.
My bet is that we're in the MAC by 2032, when the AAC media
rights agreement terminates. There won't be a lot of FCS left
when we leave it. We're too big to go D2, and I think the non-P4
will reconfigure along more geographic lines once that patchwork
conference dissolves. That makes us a good match for wherever
Delaware, UMass, UConn Football and Temple go, which I think is
to an expanded MAC. This could happen earlier, since I just read
that the AAC media rights agreement does not include grant of
rights (essentially guaranteeing that people leave, like Memphis
just tried to).

Does anyone know if there is a way to get alumni tickets for the
SD State game? Is there a visitor section?

With just over a week until Game 1, any thoughts/expectations
against San Diego State? And idea who is winning the QB battle?
Anyone have anything to say, praise or complain about?

I was at practice on Sunday and both Case and Zellous looked
good however I think Zellous is more versatile so I expect him
to get the nod.

I think the offense will be great, no matter which QB is on the
field. As far as the defense, that's where the season will come
down to. It showed no ability to get off the field against New
Hampshire and Monmouth and it pretty much returns the same
players, despite some secondary transfers.

Aiden Kaler is a top rated transfer who transferred back for his
last year and when I was at practice there were several
transfers taking reps with the first team. The Special Teams
looked very good and a true freshman will be handling the
kickoffs so I’m hoping for a lot of touch backs. The defense
will be improved from last year and the key will be to get a
pass rush from the DL and pass coverage from the LB’s/DB’s also
if the offense can control the game it will allow the defense to
not be on the field too much.
This is a big year because a lot of players graduate and
probably Cosh will likely leave too. We will know soon what kind
of year this will be

I disagree with several things you stated, and I don't want to
call players out, so I won't voice my opinion. I guess we hope
for the best.
