I hope you are right. Furman would ba an awesome add academically and athletically. I'm also thrilled with the news Elon is coming.

Thanks for the update! Keep us posted as you learn more.
I disagree that our liberal arts are weak. Psychology is very strong and political science has gotten a boost from having the debates in 2008 and 2012 plus our Peter Kalikow Center for American...
I like that idea, although NCC already has a Garden City address so I doubt they'd be motivated for a change.
They could go with a Hofstra, NY address similar to what Stanford does but that really wouldn't solve much since people still know surrounding Hempstead-Uniondale area is a suburban ghetto. The best...
The boundaries are very odd since Nassau Coliseum and Mitchel Athletic Complex are considered Uniondale but yet much of Hofstra's north campus is considered East Garden City. Changing our address to...
I hope whatever happens Hofstra continues to increase it's academic standards and does not relax them for financial reasons. This will help in the long run. One thing I do give Rabinowitz credit for...
I saw that East Garden City reference as well in the CNN story but that was likely just an error on their part even though it is technically accurate. I would love it if Hofstra could change their...
The non-stop media coverage surrounding this across the country and even the world is a horrible situation for Hofstra PR wise. Eventually the coverage will quiet down and the media will converge on...
I agree with you that hopefully whatever happens with the HUB development as well as a revitalization planned for downtown Hempstead that the entire surrounding area around Hofstra gets a boost. You...
I agree Stuball. This talk of us considering the MAAC is likely nonsense. Who knows where it is coming from.
Making the college world series as a northeast team is still a major accomplishment, esp. winning at LSU in the super regionals. The exposure they got from last year's run will unfortunately probably...
If Hofstra would send its non-basketball sports to the dogs all over not wanting to be in the same conference as Stony Brook than that is as short-sighted and petty as one can get!
I don't think Hofstra will join the MAAC because it would hurt their non-basketball programs since conference has restrictions on full-time assistant coaches, If Hofstra could join MAAC just for...
I hope this means Elon will join the CAA sooner rather than later. What do you mean by "further CAA stability"?
I don't understand why they wouldn't want to host, esp. after the investment with the lights.
Easier said than done since often conferences won't accept associate members. For example Old Dominion field hockey tried to be in the CAA just for field hockey since Conference USA does not offer...
I would love it if Hofstra could host but unfortunately our RPI of 23 is not quite high enough.
I think a better option is to work on making the CAA better suited to us with north and south divisions. Would love it if CAA added Fairfield and/or Albany and Stony Brook along with Elon in the...
It would be for basketball but not our other sports, which is why it likely won't happen.
I don't think so since this would mean having to downgrade resources in our non-basketball sports like soccer, softball and lacrosse which are too important to Hofstra.
Getting back on subject, do people want to see the league expanded to 12 or 14 to guard against possible future defections and who would you like to see added that is realistic? If we go to 12 I'd...
With Davidson gone to A-10 could you also see Furman and Wofford considering the CAA or are they both too firmly planted in SoCo? One or both of those schools on top of Elon would be great.
If that is the case I would think the other CAA schools would say the hell with Hofstra and would gladly take Stony Brook over them as the NYC market team. What a moron our president is to make a...
You are nuts if you don't think Davidson would have been great for the CAA! They already said no in fall so that ship had already sailed anyway but with them going to the A-10 I'm hoping this prompts...
