When it comes to attendance, the MAC currently plays several
games on weeknights for a larger payday from ESPN. For most
schools this might not be the best thing, but with our large
commuter population, it addresses a large problem we currently
have. The students would already be here due to classes and
wouldn't have to come out on a weekend. I think we should
experiment with a few Thursday night games in the coming years
to see if attendance is better. I believe it might.
The CAA has great schools, it's still the FCS and FCS schools
get a fraction of the coverage FBS schools get. It wasn't long
ago that our conference games were against Gardner Webb,
Presbyterian, Liberty, and VMI. Despite being in the CAA,
attendance isn't any better than it was previously as our
opponents are still irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
The most poorly viewed bowl game gets more views than the FCS
championship game.
A big benefit of being FBS that's being discounted is who we can
get home games with OOC. Being FBS opens up the possibility for
home games against big name schools in our region that are
impossible to get right now. Umass, Uconn, Temple, Army, Navy,
Pitt, Boston College, Syracuse, Rutgers, Maryland, all become
potential home opponents once you go FBS. That cannot happen
right now.

Those are solid points that I didn't consider. The thursday
night game can be something to explore in the future. Maybe once
or twice per season

You are right on Chairman . I would prefer the AAC over the MAC
with UConn, Navy and Temple to name a few . I don't think we
have much in common with Central Michigan or Kent State etc.
Should be interesting for us.

I didn't know we made the Forbes list of top 25 STEM schools.
That's fantastic news and is really something the University
should advertise more I believe since STEM are one of the few
fields where you can get a good return on your financial
investment into going to school and getting a degree.

Stony Brook suspends the Operations of the new School of
Pharmacy and Pharmacy Sciences.
I wonder what happened. Not good for the U!

I mean... if you've got to cut something I guess it's better to
cut a program that hadn't admitted any students yet and was
brand new, but it's still not the best thing in the world. It is
what it is. Infinite desires, but finite resources.
Now let's go expand that football stadium ;D ;D
