  1. Basically you are saying to tear down the facility and make it wider and longer. That is why it cannot be done. Watch the video and you will how little space there is on the sidelines and the end zones to expand it for seating. Husky Stadium is on campus. UB has enough problems getting students to go to games now. Why make it harder for them by moving the games downtown. Taking a boat to games? How many people go out on boats after October 1 on Lake Erie? Not many, so even if all games were at noon on Saturdays there would not be many coming on boats.
  2. The NCAA does not run FBS football. They receive no money from it. They have not had a say in FBS football for nearly 40 years since Oklahoma beat them in an anti-trust lawsuit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_v._Board_of_Regents_of_the_University_of_Oklahoma Full Supreme Court decision: https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/468/85/ On a side note former Colorado All-American Byron White dissented in hte case.
  3. Some talk now of Cal - Stanford to the ACC, which I guess would be renamed the ACBAC, Atlantic Coast Bay Area Conference. If that happens Washington State and Oregon State will look to go to the Mountain West. Also Big XII is not looking for any more teams. All info from the D1 Ticker.
  4. And those schools also had community support at FCS. Stony Brook is not even a blip on the college sports scene in the New York City area.
  5. Very difficult to shread the ACC. With the grant of rights though 2036 it is almost impossible to break it up. Florida State is looking into outside capital to support it in general. Could thatoney be used to pay off the grant of rights debt, maybe.
  6. FBS football is driving everything. Stony Brook is FCS and Binghamton does not have football. No conference that is going to play FBS wants them.
  7. In other conference news, Arizona is basically on its way to the Big XII. Arizona State and Utah are a little bit behind. Washington and Oregon are rumored to the Big 10. Cal and Stanford are also alleged to be on their way after Washington and Oregon. https://footballscoop.com/news/oregon-and-washington-to-join-the-big-ten
  8. The number of seats that could be put inside the Murchie Fieldhouse: 0
  9. According to sources who were not authorized to speak on the record the women's conference schedule has been set and will be released shortly. There is no confirmation on this part, but I would assume the men's schedule should be announced within a similar time frame.
  10. The NBL is a weird league in Australia. It runs professional teams and amateur teams with some mixing allowed. It is how Stephanie Reid found Georgia Wooley for Coach Jack.
  11. This is something that is not uncommon in women's basketball. Becky Hammon also obtained Russian citizenship and played for Russia in the 2008 Olympics. I do not know what the current rules are for representing a country. In the past people were eligible to play for the country they were born in or the country their parents or grandparents were born in. She may have been eligible to play for Senegal based upon her ancestors. At one time once you played for one country you could never play for a different country. That was changed early on by Martina Navratilova who had played for Czechoslovakia and then the United States.
  12. The bracket: The first game will be a tough one for the Hofstra AD. Their AD is a former Student Association President at UB. For what it is worth, he was at Iona before he went to Hofstra.
  13. So it only the men that people care about playing the other SUNY Centers? Unless I am in Detroit I will be at Stony Brook.
  14. Great they will be odds on favorites to win they NCAA tournament. Only problem they play in the NBA.
  15. Well ti did not age well. Toppin sent to the Pacers.
  16. Disagree. Would never want Julius Randle on my team. He hurts the Knicks as much as helps.
  17. A JUCO transfer from Leipold Country.
  18. And Davonta Jordan. Forgot about him. All are on the team. https://thetournament.com/tbt/teams/blue-collar-u-buffalo-alumni/
  19. Not sure if he is still from Brooklyn. He goes to a school in New Jersey.
  20. Unfortunately, I am likely to be In Buffalo when they are at St. Johns and they will be in Toledo for homecoming weekend.
