I can assure you that UB alums were not included, advised, or had anything to do with Danny White's decision to change the name. Also, Danny's been gone since 2015, so it's time to move on.

This response is spot on. P5 poaching of a good UB coach with players following Lance to Kansas, plus the transfer portal, makes it difficult to maintain any type of winning momentum. Lance's first two years were rough, including a 2-10 season his second year, with a loss to Albany. Holy Cross was ranked 10th in FCS when they played Buffalo. With Buffalo still trying to gel as a team, they were ripe for an upset. IMO, having a consistently winning coach over a long period of time is one key to winning consistently. Need proof. Look at Frank Solich's reign at Ohio. But now with the transfer portal, even that is no longer guaranteed.

Strongly agree. NYC is a pro sports town.

Agree that UB should be the only flagship....but it's an election year and Hochul needs both LI and WNY.

Speaking of Rasaun Young, as coach of the New Rochelle High School's basketball team, today is the 6th anniversary of one of the craziest buzzer beaters you'll ever see. http://media.msgvarsity.com/brightcove/1684477553001/201303/1684477553001_2219715346001_EdneyShot.mp4?hdnea=exp=1551635888~acl=/*~hmac=781CC24611E9CF1BF55619DE3F8DEDF485FEA1D4EFFFA1C96A26588E17FBDD59&nltid=msgv&nltdt=0

As someone who played baseball for New Rochelle High School in 1976, I couldn't be more proud of a fellow Huguenot being honored by the university I'm most proud of. GO BULLS!

Hi. Just want to add that Research universities are ranked as R1, "Highest Research Activity", or R2, "Higher Research Activity", by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Learning. Agree that Ohio U is a large school, but is in a different category of research activity than UB. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_research_universities_in_the_United_States
