Looking at the teams, ASUN is going to be a strong multi-bids
FCS football conference.

That�s not what they want. They want to be FBS. Which... with
those teams? C�mon.

It does seem a bit far fetched at first, however if it does have
legs and is something they're really working on, SBU would be
stupid not to at the very least inquire about it and see what's
going on. I'm also now hearing rumors (that could be and likely
is total BS) that Old Dominion and Charlotte from CUSA are
considering taking their football independent and putting
everything else into the A10. ODU didn't play football at all
last fall even though the rest of CUSA did. If that ever did
happen it kinda kills our A10 dream, but suddenly gives us A LOT
of FBS independent schools in the eastern US right in the CAA
footprint.

I just don't see SBU making moves anytime soon. Moves cost
money. NYS is currently broke and King Cuomo will NOT invest a
dime of taxpayer's money into Athletics, in any SUNY School. If
the Biden administration decides to float another Trillion
Dollars into bailing out sanctuary states that were broke before
the pandemic, then maybe, just maybe Cuomo will allow movement
in sports throughout NYS. But Cuomo's past history is not
conclusive with anything sport related. Stupid, yes but he just
doesn't care.
Any conference realignment that will make a university bigger
and more competitive in sports is a smart move. If SBU has the
opportunity to participate in such a move, then they need to
find funds to make it happen. Conference realignment doesn't
come around very often, and when it does you must act. FBS for
football and a move up in all other sports would expose SBU to
the nation. You just cant ignore that.

Wow. A lot of schools lost a lot of money since Covid reared
its ugly head, and I think this will be the first of many. I'd
also expect a lot of schools to start cutting some of their
fringe, non-money-making sports.

Schools dropping down is rare. Sure they're running quite the
loss, but at the same time they did just make the NCAA
tournament. I wouldn't read too much into this yet. CCSU would
be the replacement (or we raid the CAA due to instability of
that conference, but that's a whole other discussion).

The AE conference is a joke. SH needs to push as hard as he can
to make a jump out of this bottom, rag dweller conference. It
really is an embarrassment to the school as a whole. I am quite
certain Joe Spinella feels the same way.
