I would like the school to be in some sort of Big East with
Uconn, Rutgers, together. It all depends the direction the
school wants to take. Right now it seems like Stony Brook wants
to be at the top in athletics but in the future that might
change. Our current AD, and administration in general its very
supportive of SBU athletics but that can change in the future so
lets just hope for the best.
Like you, I support SBU and I want it to move to FBS football as
soon as possible, and if they need donations I'll be there to
make part of it. With all the realignment in college football we
just have to wait and see if we can take advantage of it and
move up.
I would like to know how the alumni community feels about FBS
football, some of them don't like the idea, we need as much
support of the alumni community if this is ever going to happen.

Yeah, I just think the goal should be to align themselves with
other flagship state universities. My personal dream conference
would be the Big Ten plus Rutgers, Uconn, Maryland, Buffalo
and/or Albany.

Outside my crazy conjecture about Stony Brook's future though,
there are some big changes happening at the moment.
1. Liberty looks like they're about to announce a move to FBS,
most likely the Sunbelt.
2. Coastal has publicly stated they exploring moving to CAA or
SOCON, so they look to be on their way out of Big South as well.
3. Patriot League is now offering football scholarships
4. Rumors about Temple moving back to Big East.
The Big South looks like it's about to lose it's autobid with
Liberty and Coastal both looking to leave, so we will need to
find another conference and fairly soon. Patriot League adding
scholarships can potentially cause drastic changes in the
landscapre of Northeast/Midatlantic FCS football. I don't know
how that all will shake out but it will be interesting. The MAC
will most likely look to the CAA for another member if Temple
does leave. There are a lot of moving pieces at the moment.

I think if two teams leave the CAA it would ODU and James
Madison. Both have eyes on an FBS program. When this all
happens is anybody's guess but I would bet Liberty would be
first to go in the Big South.
