Albany had to cancel a game at Duke back in 2016, and 13 SUNY Students got screwed when it came to competing at the DIII swimming championships in NC. They had to fly in to Virginia and drive an hour back and forth to the hotel every day, for four days. Meant they had to wake up earlier and have all their routines thrown off, compared to their competition. https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-cuomo-bans-non-essential-state-travel-north-carolina

women's lax got a bad seeding in the NCAA because of the bathroom bill. they couldnt be matched against UNC, and then later, of course... well you know the story.

JMU is also in an area that has a lot of talent that they can recruit from. The 2021 New York HS Football Class lost over 40 of their Top Players to other states (especially to the NJ Catholic Schools) and once a player leaves the state they get more exposure that leads to more opportunities so schools like SBU are at a disadvantage when it comes to home grown talent. As an example the top 8th grade QB in the Country is from Cold Spring Harbor and he will attend IMG Academy as a 9th grader and with the success of the Freeport players other LI kids are thinking of doing the same.
