With all due respect to the school, what the heck does it say about the CAA if Stony Brook won&#8217;t even accept an invitation to join the league? I mean, it&#8217;s friggin Stony Brook! They play in a 1-bid hoops league that just lost one if it&#8217;s strongest teams to the Patriot League. They play in a football league that quite frankly, sort of sucks. Maybe the administration is just &#8220;monitoring the situation&#8221; and foolishly letting a good opportunity pass it by. Or maybe the administration views the CAA as unstable and really does believe that the America East Conference is a better fit.<\/p>\n<p>And Albany, oh Albany. I&#8217;d heard rumors that Albany was under consideration for a bid, but for some reason I didn&#8217;t think it was a real possibility. Consequently, I haven&#8217;t made myself too familiar with the program. Based on the name, I&#8217;m guessing that school is located in Albany. And that&#8217;s about where my interest ends.<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fjmusportsblog.com%2F%3Fp%3D4110&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sources say CAA wants Stony Brook for full membership and Albany just for football but Stony Brook will decline offer.
