I want to talk about something positive tomorrow along with the
Nassau County HS Coaches Association and Suffolk County Coaches
Association we are running a showcase for HS Football Players
all day at the Field of Dreams in Massapequa and the PAL Complex
in Holtsville and we expect close to 400 players throughout the
day. There are 25 College Coaches coming no DI’s are allowed but
we’re filming it so every College as an opportunity to see it.
The big thing is we are proving that HS Football is not dead on

Sounds like a great idea

To have two of our old Big South rivals in the AP Top 25 is
bittersweet. Its great to see them thrive at that level. Just
would love to see Stony Brook at that level some day. But with
the limitations of Northeast football is going to be unlikely

its a good point. we literally have no local competitors.
and if you expand it out a bit- they all have the same
struggles- some worse than others. army, uconn, cuse, BC,
ruTgers, temple.

It's funny how each of those programs, aside from Army, has at
one point been in the past 20 or so years, been really, really
good and all it took was a good coach. UConn sucks now because
their head coach is not just terrible on the field, but off, it
he's a miserable, mean man.
Rutgers needed a new(old) head coach and they already look to be
looking good again. Temple did well with Matt Rhule, and I know
that the fan base misses him dearly.
Matt Ryan, Luke Kuechly, and to a much lesser extent, AJ Dillon,
have come out of BC in the last 12 years. They can produce
players even without much on-field success.
Cuse has to be the biggest disappointment of all, playing in the
ACC and have not produced a great player since Chandler Jones.
They've had some legendary names walk the halls, Jim Brown,
Marvin Harrison, Donovan McNabb, Dwight Freeney, to name a few.
But the name recognition has worn off with the Orange. Funny
thing is, while they've been to only one bowl game since 2013,
they at least won, in good fashion back in the 2018 Camping
World Bowl.

true.
and back on to local competition- the fact is, in the eyes of
the regional fan, we are probably no different than wagner, SHU,
marist, fairfield, columbia, fordham, iona.

Sadly, true. (Although Iona and Fairfield no longer have
football)

Looking at the Coastal Carolina model, their stadium was 9,000
in 2016. They expanded it to 15,000 in 2017, and then to 21,000
in 2019. Total cost, $38 million.
Their attendance was also not great throughout much of the
2010s, but 2015 was a good year when they reached No. 1 in the
polls. Still, the numbers jumped as soon as they reached FBS.

Sadly, most New Yorkers are ignorant and probably assume all FCS
schools are the same without realizing that Stony Brook in the
CAA, the most prestigious conference. I thought getting our
games on SNY last year was a good first step - no other FCS
school has a partnership with one of the most iconic NY sports
channels the way we do. But, that alone won't elevate us,
especially when people can just skip right past it on the TV and
watch something else.
