The Stony Brook student body is **** pathetic. The school somehow keeps accepting these pasty-skinned losers who know more about League of Legends and anime than they do a shotgun formation. These kids provide nothing of value! Please stop admitting these people that add nothing to the campus.

Stony Brook also needs to add more out of state and upstate students. Commuters are also a cancer. Stony Brook isn’t a “commuter school”, but it still has far too many commuters for me to be comfortable with.

Change has to start at the administration. The new president comes from Big 12 Texas? Well start implementing a Big 12 mentality already!!!

I'm with this 100%.

She doesn't come off the type that is big into sports. Unless I missed something but I dont think she said a thing about athletics,  nothing, since she been hired. Correct me please!

The last 3 recruiting classes have included more kids than ever from upstate and for 2021 there are already 4 kids between Scholarship and PWO committed

We talk football on this post not student population do that somewhere else on your own post

Yes

Won't put students in the seats until the games actually get good. And yes, there were some good games last year, like JMU, but games like Albany which are labeled with a bullshit title, only to start down 24 less than three minutes into the second quarter drives away most of the very few students who do choose to attend games.
The loss versus New Hampshire had very few students at the game, and once again, most of the few students who went left before half. Hell, even JMU most of the students left before half.

Fixing the onfield play may not lead to a massive uptick in students attending games, but it certainly is a start. The student experience at games is trash. We have low attention spans, it's terrible. And unfortunately going to games is no longer enough to keep most people's attention the entire time. The onfield random events are fun and cute but look at arenas and stadiums for other, bigger schools. They have booths you can walk up to and play mini-games, or sign up for cool raffles. Even upgrading the concessions will be a little bit of a bigger draw. Adding alcohol definitely didn't hurt. Football specifically needs a shake-up all around, from onfield play to around the stadium, in order to get more students interested, and the boosters from walking away (which they have, tons have left and won't give money until Chuck is fired)

Stony Brook banning all fans from going out of the stadium was a major blow for fans and tailgaters. They made money with their beer sales but will lose it with fewer ticket sales going forward. My entire tailgate crew said they would not renew tickets for next season because of this.  Cant say selling alschol was a win win because it wasn't.

Put me in charge and I'd make attending football games a mandatory activity like the way they do at military schools. Like a lab class that requires attendance. That'll make the numbers go up. LMAO.

They actually sort of did do that this past year (I think maybe even in previous years, but not 100% sure). For the Freshman 101 class, they make students attended a certain number of "events" on campus throughout the semester one of which is Football. But they only need like 3-4 a semester and most students choose to attend other things, and even when they go to Football games for that class, they leave almost immediately. 

But I like your idea a lot, just don't see how it could actually be enforced (throwing Covid out the window because one day **** will get back to normal and the stands will still be empty).
