Conference Realignment Rumors
By: iBOsbu Date: March 16, 2014, 7:32 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Not related to Stony Brook... but I thought I would start a
thread talking about the college athletics landscape and
realignments and rumors. This summer sure to bring some more
changes.
1) Rumors is that ACC will rotate their basketball tourney
between Brooklyn, Barclay's center and current Greensboro.
2) Big East will probably add two more... SLU and may be another
from A10. A10 will then probably stay put at 12 members and not
add any more.

This always makes for good conversation until football starts.

Another rumor that JMU might be MAC bound and Albany might be
the replacement in CAA.

Rumors on other message boards that Albany all sports to CAA is
a done deal. Not only from pesky Jeff, but also form Albany fans
on their board that they have a offer to join the CAA that
expires July 1.
Anyone one knows if there is any truth to this rumor. Would hate
to see our main rival leave us.

I also received a PM from someone we all trust saying that its a
likely move. What a shame. I think the AE as we know it is done.
I was actually feeling better about the AE. I like this
conference. Screw the CAA. Oh well, I can't blame Albany for
making a move. Everyone is trying to do the best for their
program...

You can't blame Albany for making the move. They're clearly a
leader in basketball and Lacrosse in the AE so the time has come
for that institution to move on and up.. They deserve it! I have
no doubt SB will follow Albanys lead and join them in the CAA
for all sports but first, lets get to the NCAA at least once
before we start talking about a move up!!!!!!

That is a bad news. I hope its a package deal and we go with
them. It would suck to be left behind. May be removing of Fiore,
helped change Hofstra's mind and they wont oppose. Playing
Hofstra regularly would do wonder for both programs on the
island... in terms of fan interest.
May be now we will have even easier path to the Dance... no more
beating by Albany in the tournament.
This whole thing sucks!!! Depressing.

It's all cyclical. 2-3 years ago, Albany basketball and lacrosse
wasn't as good Stony Brook. 2-3 years before that, the opposite
was true.

We would also already be in the CAA if Hofstra wasn't scared of
us.
