The AE isn't the best, but it can get better. Our league is
poised to be quite good this year. I still don't see the value
in hopping from a single one bid league to another. Better
athletes could be a reason to move, but is there proof we'd be
able to recruit any better in the CAA as opposed to the AE? The
downsides of the CAA are the increased travel and sports like
Lacrosse may take a hit in that league.
If we did move to the CAA however, it's likely we wouldn't be
alone. Albany I'm almost certain would tag along which would
make the jump a bit more attractive.
Heilbron can want to take us to FBS, but there's no chance in
Hell we move to FBS before JMU. JMU already has the facilities,
stadium, and winning tradition to be attractive to an FBS
conference TODAY. They turned the Sun Belt down a few years ago
and are arguably a more attractive school than ODU for a
conference. They're the next team out the door and when they're
gone, expect significant changes to the CAA.

Our average home attendance last year (3,221) would have put us
ahead of three A-10 teams – Duquesne, Fordham and LaSalle, all
perennial doormats – and just behind George Washington, which
ranked 11th in the 14-team conference. The arena, while
beautiful, does cap in the low 4,000s, but a media friend told
me that the A-10 "would trade La Salle for Stony Brook tomorrow
if it could."
In the CAA, we would've ranked third behind UNCW and C of C. Our
attendance is double what Hofstra, Towson, Northeastern and Elon
get, and TRIPLE what Drexel drew. Two years ago, we'd have been
second.

IFCU wouldn't need an expansion for a while. The building is
sufficient for most conferences as things stand right now. The
only way i see that change is if The American (AAC) or one of
the big boy conferences starts considering SBU for inclusion and
that would be many years down the line if ever.
I'd love to hear more from this media source though. The A10 is
always rumored to be losing Dayton, Richmond, VCU, Umass, and
others to various conferences. We could definitely back-fill
nicely if some spots open up. Look towards the A10 guys, I
couldn't give a **** about the CAA (all-sports).

Tyree Pickron is visiting Stony Brook September 7 through 9

He also set his college announcement date as September 15. I
think he would be a great addition.
