Stony Brook/Albany to CAAFB

Interesting quote from the JMU boards regarding CAA football invites SUNY Albany and Stony Brook"

"Stony Brook should have been offered an all sports invite or nothing... As for Albany, I just don't see any excitement there now nor in 5 years. If the CAA wasn't going to offer Football only to Charlotte, why should Albany and Stony Brook be offered? Show's how weak and scared the CAA administration is since the mass exodus of schools from the conference. The writing is on the wall, the CAA most likely will implode." jmu_duke07

They are great schools (my wife is a SUNY grad) but was this an act of desparation?

I don't understand all of the anguish. Two posters from Albany and SBU (on other sites) that are apparently insiders called this early in June. It has been all over these boards for 2 months. This should be no surprise.

I would be interested to see what schools (other than App) that they consider "worthy".

Both are playoff caliber football programs and great additions from athletic and academic standpoints.
