I've already voice my displeasure with the home schedule and the
lack of benefits of a season ticket holder. Also, waiting for a
callback from the assistant AD.

Just for laughs made a list mid major programs just like us
only a bus ride away.
LIU , Wagner,Iona , Manhattan, St Peters, Rider, Farleigh
Dickinson, Marist , Army , Siena , Fairfield , Yale, CCSU, QU,
Sacred Heart , Holy Cross , Boston U , Harvard, Brown , Bryant.
Monmouth, Maryland Eastern Shore , Delaware, Towson , Navy ,
Colgate, Cornell did I miss anyone. I cant believe we couldn't
get a game or two with any of these schools. Didn't even
Mention Fordham , U mass , La Salle or some of the other A10
programs in the area.

Just two OOC games were added to what we already knew--an away
game at Northeastern, and a home game against Farmingdale St!!
Are you kidding me? The result is that we have 8 road games and
only 5 home games, and of the 5, two are not D-1!! YIKES!

This is essentially my thoughts as well.

I just don't want to see the hubris of typical college athletic
departments. Admit there is a problem with the schedule and let
the fan base know that solutions are being researched. Don't
dare try to sell this as anything but an abomination of a home
schedule. The AE could help out by adding another team or two
to the league - that would eat up those 2 div 3 games for sure.
I felt that for Jameel's final season it was important to get my
tix again. I will not be fooled again next year. You tell me
who we are playing then I will tell you if I am renewing my
season tickets. It's not like you can't walk up and get tickets
to 99% of the games as it is now.

I agree. This is most likely my last year as a basketball season
ticket holder. Coach P is running out of excuses.. No more BS
schools are afraid to play us. its called schools dont want to
play us we dont have the exposures they are looking for.. Bottom
line, it comes down to the mighty buck.. Time to move out of the
AE and go full into the CAA!!!!

Looks like a competitive schedule out of conference with a nice
balance of strong mids plus the 2 BCS games. I have to assume
the 2nd D3 was to give 5 home games, but 9-4 should be the goal
moving into conference play. The non-BCS D1 teams not expected
to challenge for their conference titles are Loyola (MD),
American, Northeastern & WKU, and all those are on the road, so
you should be tested when conference rolls around.
SEC - 1
ACC - 1
Patriot - 3
CAA - 2
Ivy - 2
Conf USA - 1
ASun - 1
D3 - 2

With the MERCHANT MARINE ACADEMY just two days away here, it's
worth discussing again: How in the world have some of these
local Division I schools not been brought out here? These
Division III games do nothing to improve this team. You will
learn nothing about the new guys and nothing about what the
veterans have done this offseason. You could if we scheduled
these metro area teams. The top four teams in the MAAC last year
are all in NY or NJ. Play them. St. Francis or LIU can take a
train and walk to the arena. Play one of them. If a Connecticut
team wants to take the ferry over, I'll even pick them up on the
other side. Whatever.
Listen, I'm a season ticket holder not because I expect major
programs to schedule road games here. Whether with family or
friends, I'm going to enjoy the games regardless. And when Greg
Gumbel says "the 14th seeded Seawolves of Stony Brook" in a few
months, I'll be ready to sign up for the 2016-17 season too. And
if he doesn't, well, you can bet I'll be there anyway. It's a
great time. All that said, if you want to be a big-time program,
you CANNOT schedule these games. As exhibitions? Fine. In fact,
yes, absolutely, I encourage it. But as your first TWO home
games of the season? That is reprehensible.

I feel your pain checkmate, but after talking to numerous people
about this issue for years it always come down to money.. Coach
P will tell you the larger institutions are afraid to play us at
our house but that's all BS. When a team comes to our house we
have to pay them $$$ and vise versa.. But if a large school
like Uconn, St. John's, Maryland, agrees to come to our home to
play us we would have to chalk up huge amounts of $$$ to make up
the difference that university is losing had they played another
large inst..All of this has everything to do with TV and and
commercial money and contracts with conferences.. SB is a lower
mid major team and gets little to no $ from TV.. This is a
business and SB, as of now, is a small client in a crowded field
of institutions..
