       Stony Brook Cheerleaders

       I wasn't sure where to put this post so i thought starting a new
       topic was appropriate . What are your thoughts in regards to our
       Cheerleaders. I really don't know how to say it and I've been
       known to be blunt, and not sugarcoating things but SB Athletic
       should invest some more time into finding, lets say, hotter
       chicks !!! I don't wan't to offend anyone on this board or the
       SB cheerleaders and I apologize if I just did but I think
       finding the most attractive and talented SB student to be a
       cheerleader would only improve ticket sales and increase
       exposure to the Sports programs !
       Lets use the Clemson Tide Cheerleaders for example. Maybe I'm
       asking too much ???
       Again, If I offend just one person then I will remove this post
       !!

       LOL. Its a delicate topic but I'll have to say I agree. Overall,
       the cheer leading team needs more funding but I guess that can
       only come if we get more funding for athletics in general.
       I think cheerleading in the Northeast is not as highly regarded
       as in other areas of the country (i.e Southeastern) but it is
       definitely a nice plus to have for those crowds that are
       interested in more than just plain-old basketball.
       I particularly pay little attention to the cheer leading team
       when i attend basketball games, but i had other guy friends that
       would always make comments about the girls

       Hammer, there's nothing wrong with wanting attractive
       cheerleaders. I hope political correctness doesn't infect this
       board. I'm not certain, but I don't think SB gives scholarships
       to cheerleaders. Other schools do. For example, Liberty's
       football cheerleaders were fairly hot AND they performed some
       pretty good gymnastics moves. The difference between the two
       squads was noticeable. Yes, I'd PREFER to watch attractive
       cheerleaders, but I go to the games to watch the guys (no, not
       in that way)

       ry1nik. I agree. I of course go to all the Football and
       Basketball games to watch our Athletes play. I've even gone to
       the SB girls Basketball game, again to watch the Athletes play
       not the Cheerleaders doing their thing. With that said, I still
       think having really talented and attractive Cheerleaders could
       only help with the SB Athletic Brand. If SB attracts just 2
       percent more Fans because of hotter Cheerleaders, why not !!!
       I seriously doubt SB cheerleaders are given scholarships to
       perform, unlike some of the marching bands performers do, but
       i'm sure they could find some girls who are quite, well, you get
       the idea, well in dow$,,,,to join the team..  lol !!!!

       Wow, I wasn't aware of that. They hand out scholarships for
       cheerleading? That's explains it. There is like a world of a
       difference between the cheer leading teams in the football
       schools of the south and the schools in the north east. Those
       girls down south are all hotties and more skilled, our girls are
       just average.

       In most cases they're not full scholarships like the athletes
       receive. Here's the link.

       I don't see SB name offering cheerleader scholarship on that web
       only st. Johns . I was told SB does offer some scholarship for
       their Marching Band though. I'm not 100% certain of that ..
       According to that site, schools that do offer scholarship for
       cheerleading only give out few hundred bucks per semester .. I
       don't see a reason why SB can't absorb that $$$ to recruit some
       really good girls !!!!

       could be wrong, but i was always under the impression that the
       big football schools awarded scholarships to cheerleaders
       because it helps balance out the 90+ scholarships for football
       under title IX.  any thoughts?
       of course, that doesnt work as well when some of the
       cheerleaders are male.  which is the case at some schools.

       No. Cheerleading is not a Sport in the NCAA and is not covered
       under title IX
