Rooting for #CCSU to succeed this season and beyond... But just not against us...

They seem to have something going... except funding... Hoping they can get that going (somehow) with their Athletic programs... I think it will pay off tremendously, not just for them, but the entire state... Another public U to root for... that plays at a higher level of college athletics...

 

[CCSU97]

Central needs to get an invite to America East and CAA Football soon or the D-I athletic program will eventually wither and die in the NEC. The academic profile, facilities, and budget relative to the existing AE membership has kept CCSU out of that league since the 1980s. A new conference with an aspirational peer group (and some former Yankee Conference schools) would give Central the platform to raise its profile across the board - and, yes that would be great for the State of Connecticut!

But CCSU just can't get anything really going with the current level of State support. And don't kid yourself, the State Legislature and UConn Administration has done everything it can over many decades to prevent any academic or athletic growth at CCSU and continues to do so. Just not sure anyone in Hartford or Storrs has the vision that would enable Connecticut to support both a premier comprehensive public university alongside the State's land-grant flagship, national research university. Too many egos would be hurt ...

Would love to see America East become an Yankee-ish all-public conference and partner with the MAAC for football.

New Hampshire (football)
Albany (football)
add CCSU (football)
add Stony Brook (football)
UVM
UMass Lowell
Binghamton
NJIT

UMBC moves to a more mid-atlantic conference, Bryant to the MAAC for all sports but football. SHU, Merrimack, Bryant, and maybe Marist (if they want to fund it) play football in America East. 9-10 football schools, 10 basketball schools.

stony brook was sooo excited to step up to CAA when they got the call. It was their moment to prove themselves on the track to FBS, after the massive success they'd had in the early 2010's with Miguel Maysonet at RB.

sad to see them in the conversation about coming back to america east... def was not their plan, but with the way things are going in CAA, it will either be dead or a bunch of random southern schools in the next 5 years. The championship aura will be extinguished.

Is it just a financial thing? Can CT significantly support more than one state school?

I am asking…I honestly don’t know…but if they don’t have the cash that may be why CCSU is not getting the support…more than it just being about ego.
