Its a good sign. I remember being in an Albany area gas station and seeing a Syracuse promo cup deal. This was many years ago. I wondered how long it would be if ever we would see a UAlbany promo... a real promo targeted at the general public not just UA students.

FBS Football. Need to get into the MAC. Eventually the MAC will join the B10 in adding Lax. Thats when we parlay our lacrosse success into a FBS opportunity

Football

Time for a conference jump preferably one that is FBS. Honestly the AD is sitting on a #1 ranked lacrosse team. We need to cash in. Hit up the conferences, donors and backers. Dont wait. UA has a great resume.

Baby ant steps

When do we finally get a merger or acquisition with one of these colleges?

Id prefer to give to a stadium fund. I wish that was an option

Whats the early assessment on our possible class? Are these kids at a high CAA level? Next game is ACC Pitt who just beat #2 Miami. Reality check

I'm confused. Did he play here somewhere and is just German? Or is he legit playing HS football in Germany? I'm Ukrainian and if it's the latter...I had no idea Europeans played it (even though I realize the NFL has been going to London for years). They have german FB teams with German coaches - just did a little research. I played HS Football for a DoDDS school (Ulm) in Germany as my father was US Army stationed there. Is this kid a US army brat or a German national? I know they have some German leagues now. Just a bit confusing to figure out.

Also unseeded. Next game Sunday at 1 pm in Kalamazoo. Game is on ESPN3 Kalamazoo is 45 minutes from my house. If its not freezing maybe I can get the family out. Im a football fan but I support the Danes generally.

Who owns Stuyvesant Plaza? Not to play semantics but the plaza isn't donating money. The owner or legal entity is providing the funds. Who is that and how deep are these pockets?

Title IX was never meant to regulate sports. I say that as a HR professional. It's hijacking laws after the fact... government run amuck. This is a huge waste of time. Why cheer is not considered in the mix but tennis is just shows how this process has become about identity politics and not sports (or helping girls and women). People know how to kill the fun in sports.

Sounds like a nothing burger but that doesn't stop NPR from describing it as some dark shadow on the program. "Sexual Discrimination" by cold hearted villains that would steal candy from babies. How dare you Albany!

I just ordered 12 tickets to the home opener. Excited to head back to Albany for the weekend.

Most folks in California, Georgia or Michigan have never heard of SUNY. I've lived in all three. If Cuomo wants credit for free tuition he should be pushing the SUNY Centers to become household names like UCLA or Georgia Tech. That means big time athletics and top academics (the opposite of access). I wasn't aware nor did I care that Tennessee offers free tuition to their community colleges. Free tuition to Georgia Tech or UCLA would be much more impressive. Most Americans would guess SUNY is the name of a foreign transfer student not major university. Athletics and branding need to be the focus else who cares if it's free.
