Hey thanks y'all! This is a work in progress, but what I can
promise is week-over-week improvement 😂 Next week's
episode is going to tackle football's recent recruiting
renaissance, but always eager to hear suggestions for future
episodes!

i have some feedback... first off you guys are a credit to the U
and do great work, i've followed your site over the years.
i think the podcast was great. i should say i dont do podcasts
so i know nothing. im not a millennial (but im married to
one!).
-maybe make it a bit shorter?
-some guests so youre not just talking one-way?
-maybe try the wUSB guys they are a treasure trove of
information and can chat for hours
-consider breaking each podcast into one sport only (or, give a
time breakdown of each subject)
-interview coaches? asst coaches? players? recruits? alums?
keep on doing what youre doing. we need more fans like you. GO
SB

Sometimes I wonder what if Hofstra didn’t drop football. Would
that have been good for Stony Brook in the long run? Sure we
benefited short term by the transfers, but I would have loved to
play them yearly in CAA. There would have been a Nassau/Suffolk
rivalry game. Would have created more buzz in Long Island. On
the other hand may be we would be fighting for the same
recruits. May be we won’t even be in CAA because they would have
blocked us like they did for all sports! ::)

Interesting scenario to ponder. I also don't know if we make the
playoffs in 11 and 12 without that talent bump. It is good to
have a rivalry to drive fan interest and support within the
state though. Albany hasn't quite been cutting it and we're in a
different sub-division to UB. Hofstra would have tried to block
us and Albany, but I don't know if they'd had been as successful
for CAAF. Hofstra being a private vs us being public, I think
the rivalry would have helped, but being totally different
institutions all together, I think we'd have been just fine from
a recruiting standpoint. We're not any less of what we are if
they still have football. We'd still have the facilities, the
budget, AAU membership, etc.

I like the 4 home-home games scheduled with Fordham next 4
year’s. May be they can provide a new NYC/LI rivalry spark. May
be lol.
I think Fordham wants to improve but stuck in Patriot League.
Patriot League as a whole needs to make a decision. They need to
commit to either fully follow their role model Ivy League or be
fully competitive. They are in between and it’s not helping
them. Either drop scholarships and be like Ivy, or add
red-shirting and be like CAA. Most of them have pretty good
facilities for FCS standard. Or may be Fordham can get into CAA
if JMU ever leaves.

I am pretty certain the PL does have red shirting...for example
I know Holy Cross' QB is a 5th year senior and thanks to being
redshirted was able to be the rare (or maybe only) 4 year
football captain.

Fordham is a potential add if JMU, or any other programs leave.
Fordham
Monmouth
Howard
Hampton
CCSU
Youngstown St.
Robert Morris
Kennesaw St.
could all be backfills if 1-3 teams leave in no particular
order. All could be great additions, but none are worth
proactively expanding for. JMU will be the next team out the
door and then we'll see. Delaware is likely to follow if JMU
goes. Hopefully by then we're not far from an FBS invite either.
A pretty attractive conference of east coast G5 schools could be
made if the AAC gets raided by the Big 12 and implodes during
the next great realignment shuffle.

PL only allows medical redshirting if I am not mistaken. May be
they changed the rule recently.

Besides Fordham and Youngstown, none of the rest really excite
me. Even these two won’t make up for the loss of JMU and
Delaware.
JMU has been FBS ready. But they don’t want go to Sunbelt
which has no peer school.. wisely. Delaware will be starting to
renovate and upgrade their stadium soon. I think they both want
to get in AAC or otherwise will stay at FCS. But you are right
though, no change will happen until Big 12 adds more. And Big 12
will add more because need a real conference title game... not
the fake title game they are starting this year.
I just hope we continue to win and make buzz. And be ready when
the right opportunity comes along. We don’t need real 15k
attendance for FBS invite. Coastal is a prime example. As you
mentioned earlier we have the facilities, budget, and prestige.
I love what we are doing now in CAA. And keep working hard to be
a better candidate than JMU and Delaware when AAC eventually
comes calling in 5/6 years. I would decline any invite from
sunbelt or cusa like JMU and wait for AAC. I am not even
interested in MAC anymore. CAA>MAC in my opinion. Peer schools.
Relatable. Rather than Akron or Ball state. Even presence of
Buffalo doesn’t entice me.
