Not sure if anyone shared this yet.. but big dream and tough
goal for the new director Shawn Heilbron. Biggest hurdle of them
all.. more than money.. is attendance.

it really is.
lets go through some admittedly quick math again. 10k seats
(near future). 20k students or so, I think 12k or so on campus.
fans include some family and friends. community fills the
rest. games are on wkds. campus is empty on wkds.
far term is 20k capacity.
so the quick and dirty analysis is, if you don't even have the
benefit of 12k being on campus for gameday, where will all these
fans (paying and not paying) come from?
solution is a larger, in-the-fabric-of-the-university issue.
need to instill school spirit and have kids stick around on
wkds.
otherwise, youre playing Sisyphus trying to get your middle aged
three village professional to spend their sat afternoon at
lavalle and fighting Nichols traffic on the way to dinner.

Some interesting facts.. The MACC conference would make perfect
sense if we would ever make a change. SB would save a ton of $$
with travel cost.

It is a fairly weak conference like the AE but has some strong
teams such as Iona , Sienna etc. Mostly all small Catholic
schools also with no room for 25k State University.

Just one more reason why SB needs to make moving up to the FBS a
priority..Wiederkehr, from SWR has has chosen Northwestern
university as his college to play football. At one time he
wanted to stay close to home. If, and only if SB was an FBS
football school.... Jack Cohan, Sayville 4* recruit chose
Wisconsin, again, if!!!!!!

Those kids rarely if ever give SBU even a thought. The top
athletes on the Island pick the top schools for their sport look
at lacrosse and the kids on Maryland, Duke, North Carolina etc.
all from Long Island . Long Islands top basketball player from
Long Lutheran signed with Indiana . We are still an after
thought in spite of all the hype .

I agree, but I also see a change happening. Look at the girls
lacrosse. Joe Spallina team is made of 95% local talent, and
very good talent that is continually in the AP rankings.The same
thing for the boys lax. Our Basketball program, boys and girls
is slowly getting national attention, and is improving. SB
Baseball went to the college world series a few short years ago.
That was no fluke.. I think SB can do the same thing for
Football. But not if they stay in the FCS, move up to FBS and we
will no doubt keep some very good local talent who otherwise
would go to schools like Syracuse, BC, UCONN, UMASS,etc...
