i know i said this before and i know its unpopular here, but if
we are making moves, might be a good time to consider rebranding
altogether and a new mascot. the U is so often maligned to
begin with, that we dont need "what the H is a seawolf" to pile
on. everyone i know mocks it. no one knows what it means. i
know few who like it. it doesnt make sense. to me, at least.
and how many times are we referred to as the seahawks anyway.
go back to scarlet & grey, keep the secondary colors (navy),
revert to the classic interlocking SB, and call us the patriots.
just my opinion.

i do like originality as it separates one from another- but
since SB does things historically wrong when it comes to
branding, tradition, spirit, etc., this is a place to lead, not
follow.
just make it the SBU Billy Joel's and get it over with. you
know how many people win in this scenario???

Stony Brook is a done deal to the CAA, source told @Stadium. CAA
also set to add Hampton and Monmouth, and could still target
anywhere from 2-4 more teams at some point. Final approval on
Stony Brook, Hampton and Monmouth expected early next week.

(even the IVY has exceptions)?

No way. You change our mascot and I would literally stop
following this program. You can rebrand and modify the look of
the mascot but thats about it. Seawolves forever!
All the memories I have of chanting that silly chant, the fight
song, and rooting for the team would be gone.
BAD BAD BAD idea!
We are the red hot Seawolves of SBU
We never stop fighting, until the battle is through
Let's go Stony Brook, Let's go Team
Don't you stop until you hear the screeeeeeammmm
Seawolves rock! (Seawolves rock!), Seawolves rule!
Lets go Stony Brook, the #1 school
I must be like one of a dozen that can type that entire fight
song from my head. lol

Newsday:
HTML https://www.newsday.com/sports/college/stony-brook-caa-hofstra-1.50481959
There already is a simmering Long Island men&#8217;s basketball
rivalry between Stony Brook and Hofstra. Prepare for the heat to
get turned up.
Stony Brook is involved in conversations and negotiations to
leave the America East Conference and join the Colonial Athletic
Association, where Hofstra competes. An announcement could come
as soon as next week. The transition to the CAA could start as
soon as the next school year.
"We have been in discussions with the CAA," Stony Brook athletic
director Shawn Heilbron said in a text message.
Stony Brook&#8217;s football program already competes in the
formidable CAA as part of the Football Champion Subdivision,
where several teams annually make the NCAA playoffs. However,
its other teams compete in the America East.
According to published reports, Stony Brook is only one piece of
the puzzle. The CAA also is looking to bring on Monmouth from
the Metro Atlantic and Hampton from the Big South.
The move would be geared largely toward men&#8217;s basketball.
Other schools could be in play, among them Albany of the America
East and Iona of the Metro Atlantic. To add coach Rick
Pitino&#8217;s Gaels would be considered an impressive addition.
The America East and the Colonial have rarely gotten more than
its conference champion into the lucrative NCAA men&#8217;s
basketball tournament.
In 2006 the George Mason team that made the run to the Final
Four was an at-large bid after it lost to Hofstra in the CAA
semifinal. UNC Wilmington won the final and got the automatic
bid.
The CAA appears to be making a bid to become more of a multi-bid
conference; its television broadcast rights could be
considerably more valuable if it is viewed as more than a
one-bid conference.
It does not appear Hofstra has voiced resistance to the addition
of another Long Island school. CAA commissioner Joe
D&#8217;Antonio told Newsday on Wednesday night "Hofstra has
been very supportive of plans for conference expansion."
Hofstra athletic director Rick Cole Jr. said, "We have a deep
commitment to our conference and we are enthusiastic about
anything that is in its best interests."
The CAA has a contract to hold its men&#8217;s basketball
tournament in Washington for the next two seasons. With the
addition of New York area schools, the conference could be
eyeing a New York venue for its premier event, including the new
UBS Arena, where the Islanders play and where St. John&#8217;s
already has played a men&#8217;s basketball game.
The Colonial&#8217;s move is not yet complete, although an
announcement may be forthcoming. The addition of other schools
with the potential for a high profile &#8212; Pitino&#8217;s
Gaels play games at Madison Square Garden &#8212; could loom as
very attractive.
Should Hampton be a part of the expansion, it would have to
commit considerable resources to upgrading it football program.
The Pirates last played in an NCAA football tournament in 2006.

EcasadoSBU, That is the most hideous fight song I think in
college.
I agree with Chairman. A new revamping of SBU mascot is
something that should be considered. The time is now to get the
nation to recognize this school's athletics as something real,
and not something from High Shool.

i dont know if this is new but wanted to share:

[quote]And it could not be the last domino affecting lacrosse,
as the reports say the CAA is looking to expand to where it can
feature North and South divisions. The Richmond Times-Dispatch
noted the CAA was exploring members in the SoCon who elected to
stay in that league.

The chant/fight song needs to be changed. It is kinda stupid.
The mascot can stay though. I have zero problem with Seawolves.
Nobody would care about it as long as we're good. At least it's
also different.

�Seawolves rock, Seawolves rule� makes me want to puke.
Again, study the P5 and model after them. Don�t try to be
quirky.
