I can't imagine spring football. It's either in the fall or they don't have it at all. Hard to even allow games with limited/no attendance if the campuses are closed so students can't come back.

What I expect at this point is for the college football season to get cancelled.. The NFL will be played as normal just without fans in attendance. It's going to be weird, but that's what's likely going to happen.

Agree 100% . NCAA football will be canceled this season but the NFL will go on.  Even if the NCAA gives the green light to play football how are all the states going to be on board at the same time. NY, NJ, Conn. Are hot states with Covid-19 and will be the last states to open up. The midwest states wont be happy about not playing. It has to be all or nothing.  Emperor Coumo wouldn't allow any Suny schools to open this year anyways. Cant play football through a computer screen!

Numbers out of the FCS in general are extremely low this year. Reason is that the virus limited the amount of private workouts the players could get, thus leading teams to draft the "safer" FBS players.

The best players for SBU during the 2019 season were underclassman so it didn’t surprise me that only Heslop signed. I think the 2020 Class will have more players sign if they have a 2020 season

Wishing Heslop luck. For the last couple of years, I thought he would be the first Stony Brook player to get drafted. Still think he can be a good pro.

We're a LONG way away from getting a player drafted unfortunately. I just don't think Coach P has it in him. With the guys we've got here, if it was going to happen it would have already.

That said, I'm hoping Heslop at least makes the practice squad even if he's not on the 53 man roster when all is said and done.

Apparently this school doesn't care about athletes making the pros. If they did coach P would have been gone years ago.  Now, with this closure and NYS basically bankrupt. There will be zero money for coaches and athletic programs. Dont be surprised if the higher paying athletics staff start taking pay cuts, just to keep their jobs.

As a matter of information only 15 CAA players from the 2020 class signed a pro contract

As far as NYS financial issues effecting SBU athletics a lot of other states have the same issues and on the other hand I think private colleges are going to have bigger issues especially when your charging a student $50 to $60 thousand a year and the students can’t be on campus.

True, but NYS got hit the hardest and will feel the economic effects of this more than other states.

Absolutely. NYC is the biggest part of the state’s economy and tourism is the biggest part of the NYC economy. Billions of $ have been lost and that will unfortunately continue until a vaccine is available. The state will have to slash its budget even more and raise taxes (which will drive more people out of the state). The economic impact of Sept 11 was peanuts compared to this. It will take a decade to recover, if it can.
