Cole, with the SBU roots, made this happen currently, and to
everyone’s benefit.
CoB, excellent point. Lose a game you’re not suppose to, and
WLAX loses out on the AL. That’s why I read Spallina’s glowing
response as he has been given assurances. I doubt a guy like
that would be willing to give up a trip to the Tourney that
easily even if it’s for a longer-term betterment. Maybe I’m
wrong.

[quote]Will Stony Brook's move to CAA hurt in short term?
In the long-term this will have huge benefits for Stony Brook as
it becomes part of higher-profile conference with better NCAA
Tournament prospects in all sports, takes the Long Island
rivalry with Hofstra to a new level of intensity and increases
the school’s visibility and earning potential.
The short term is far less rosy for the Seawolves. There is a
provision in the America East bylaws that states that once a
school has notified the conference that it is withdrawing, it
can be ruled ineligible for conference championships. That would
mean that Stony Brook could be ruled ineligible for the AE’s
automatic bid to the Division I men’s and women’s basketball
tournaments. The women’s team (15-2, 6-0) is in first place; the
men’s team (12-6, 4-1) is in second place.
When Boston University exited the America East for the Patriot
League in 2012, it was ruled ineligible for championships. This
season Hartford announced it is exiting to scale back to
Division III and has been permitted to compete for conference
titles. The remaining AE members will decide before the
beginning of winter championships if Stony Brook will be
eligible.
There could be greater earning opportunities for conference
members with a stronger men’s basketball conference. The CAA
will enter the final year of its primary media rights deal with
streaming service FloSports. D’Antonio said media "arrangements
going forward will likely include both streaming options as well
as national linear TV options and potentially local linear TV
options."
The CAA will play its men’s basketball tournament in Washington,
D.C., this season and next. With a stronger presence in Greater
New York and the myriad of venues — including the Coliseum and
UBS Arena on Long Island — D’Antonio said he "wouldn’t close the
door" on having the tournament in the area.
Stony Brook will take on some costs along the way. LaValle
Stadium and Island Federal Credit Union Arena measure up to
other CAA schools, but Heilbron said the facilities for baseball
and softball will require upgrades to match other conference
members. "We will have to fundraise to make those improvements,"
he said.

N/A. but do we go from... 2200 bball fans against an AE team,
to 3200 because we host... drexel? delaware?

I think that Northeastern, Delaware, Hofstra and maybe Drexel
are bigger draws than the entire America East in terms of name
value amongst the students who know academics. Elon and W&M are
also good academic schools, but I don't think Long Island and
NYC kids know that.
Heilbron does need to step his game up. Being mediocre in the
CAA will expose him far more than being mediocre in the America
East. I don't have faith in him, but the move to the CAA did
happen under his watch so I'll give him that credit at least.

it will be interesting to see if we start upgrading recruits,
immediately.

Recruiting should take a step up, though perhaps not a drastic
one at least not right away. CAA does sound better to recruits
than the AE though, so there is that.

RealtimeRPI:
Men's Basketball
CAA 13
America East 25 (was 28 a few weeks ago)
Women's Basketball
CAA 11
America East 28
This seems like a very reasonable step forward. I also like that
women's tennis comes back to the east coast for its championship
(it's a very underrated program at SBU. It held its own in the
MVC and will do just fine in the CAA).
Makes me wonder if men's tennis will come back (sponsored by the
CAA, but dropped by the America East). If it does, how does SBU
balance Title IX? The answer to me is clear as day: the CAA
sponsors women's crew. How fantastic would it be to see SBU
launch a varsity crew team again for the first time since the
1970's? Many influential members of the SBU Alumni Assoc are
former rowers, and several rowers are in the SBU Athletics hall
of fame. It almost seems weird for us to be a coastal
institution on an island and not have a crew team.
This is of course wishful thinking on my part, but I have to
think that in the next 10 years varsity women's crew at SBU is a
real possibility.
