scratching the surface of what we can be. More of our teams need
to reach NCAA postseason play and we must continue to knock off
Power 5 opponents. The next five-year plan will be ambitious,
but this is the time to decide what we want to be. I want to be
great. Our coaches, staff and student-athletes want to be great.

I'm looking forward to working alongside our Interim President
Michael Bernstein, who is extremely knowledgeable about Division
I athletics, as we continue to build our program.

"Ambitious." "Time to decide what we want to be."
Sounds like FBS football is part of the plan to me! Also, I LOVE
the optimism around basketball even with Lamb coming back to
Vermont.

If somehow Shawn Heilbron squeaked out an invite for SB to make
that leap into FBS, I'll be the biggest Wolfie this school has
ever seen!! But come on, let's be real. The AAE wont even give
JMU a look into their conference and is okay with 11 members.
Why would SB get that invite today????

JMU is good but they cant touch our academic profile . The best
they got is graduating Master's Degree students. SBU is an AAU
Member with the ability to graduate MD's as well as PHD's in
multiple disciplines. It is more than football to move up .

Exactly this. The academics matter more than the sports. You can
build a sports program fairly easily, especially if you're FBS
playing high profile teams. It's much harder to build up the
academic side of the house. Most people don't understand most of
realignment comes down to academics. This puts SBU in a great
position going forward to move up to a better conference.
Of course when Heilbron talks about "ambitions" in this case, he
could also mean something like an NCAA tournament Sweet 16
appearance or FCS national title (lmao yeah right :D ).

I want nothing more to see SB make that move up to FBS before I
leave this state. But, I don't see it happening. One look at
UMASS, UCONN, and that's enough for SB to not fall into that
trap.

UMass decided to turn down the MAC in order to stay in the A10.
Their football struggles as a result, however if you look at
their games they're quite competitive, coming close to some big
wins. I'd love to see them make a bowl.
Uconn has been awful these past few years. However less than a
decade ago they were doing fairly well in the Football Big East
and made a BCS bowl. They've just made some bad coaching hires.
I'd love to see them do well as an independent too. If they can
play a more regional schedule and get some fans in the seats
that would be good for them. Northeast football is the strongest
it has been in a long time. Buffalo, Army, Syracuse, and Penn
St. were all ranked last year at one point or another, and
Temple has turned themselves around from being the laughing
stock of the FBS to a good program. Things really aren't so bad
up here.
