 I have no doubt we are a rising star in the D-1  ranks.   We are getting more and more TV exposure,  high profile  schedules and better student athletes than we ever had across all sports.   Look at our Ladies Softball Team hosting   Big 12 Texas Tech for a season opener, football  with  two legendary programs on their schedule Syracuse and Army and both NY teams.   Our community support seems to be growing  and Newsday loves us.  I am very optimistic about the  direction we are going.  It wasnt so long ago football played on a tiny dirt field in front of maybe 300-500 fans on a sunny day.  Believe me I was there, haftime under a tree, one tiny refreshment stand  and wooden bleachers circa 1995-97.    It takes time  but we are  getting there and rather quickly I may add. We have folks like Dr. Kenney and our present AD  to thank for what we see now.
