Stony Brook wants to play two FBS games a year. I assume this is
to help recruiting, build the "brand", and bring in money. But
they want to balance out the schedule so they're going to pay
two teams to come to lavalle. This year it's CCSU and Pace. NEC
teams our cheap to pay for money games because they're not FBS
counters (don't offer enough scholarships to count towards bowl
eligibility), and similarly D2's are even cheaper because they
don't count towards FCS playoff eligibility. The football
program doesn't generate enough revenue to afford to bring in
two D1's at the moment, so we'll most likely have a D2 on the
schedule for the foreseeable future.

I'll tell you, Syracuse fans are downright ignorant. They are
bashing the Seawolves over at their board. I weighed in-- you
may want to also.

Is it possible that the reason that Stony Brook chose to have no
Bye-week is because they assuming to reach they playoff and want
a bigger break?

No bye week is a function of the conference schedule.
Technically, our "bye week" is Nov 17.
Our conference has 7 teams, so each week, one conference team
has a "bye". Last year, Coastal had the "last bye", Liberty
"second to last", etc.
We're the champs (awesome), so we get the "last bye", which is
Nov 17. We could have tried to fill that with a non-conference
game, but thats a really tough slot to fill.
I love the idea of a bye week going into the playoffs, or even
better, if we can dominate, we could end up with two bye weeks
going into the playoffs...
