LIU Post Out

[Fightingscot82]

Merging athletics with LIU-Brooklyn. Moving all sports to D1/FCS. Will still compete in the NEC.

Nobody saw that coming. The NE10 is getting hammered.

Get thumped in D2 to go get thumped in D1. Great move!

Re: LIU Post Out

An odd thing to say when Post is currently 4-0. They're not an elite D2 program but they're not a bottom-dweller by any stretch.

Re: LIU Post Out

Send a memo to the NE10 that we have a LIT AF program we'll send them. Free of charge.

If they need two, Seton Hill is available.

Re: LIU Post Out

I actually think Post will be able to compete in the NEC given their location and them merging their programs with LIU Brooklyn. If the administration can get donors to put scholarship money into the FB program to get them over 40 scholarships they can definitely be at least a 6-8 win team in that league. Facility wise with the renovation there is no NEC program that can say they have a better stadium and they'll be able to land the transfers from the FBS level looking for more PT especially those local PWO kids from Syracuse & Rutgers.

Re: LIU Post Out

Have to wonder -- especially with Saturday coming -- what sort of affect that's going to have on the morale of the current D2 roster.

Re: LIU Post Out

The two campuses are an hour apart, that is a logistical nightmare.

Football remains at Post so as for any effect on Saturday, I would say only a positive. These kids get to play D1 as Brooklyn does not have a football team so they won't get cut by a merger.

The kids who play basketball for Post are screwed.

Re: LIU Post Out

That drive between campuses though. Usually an hour each way.

Umm, not for nothing, but Post had a better than .500 winning percentage when they were a member of PSAC. Just saying.

Not following. We have tons of average teams.

Re: LIU Post Out

I agree with your assessment. LIU has assured students that any Post athlete who qualifies for a Brooklyn-based team will receive transportation to and from Brooklyn for practices and games.

That will suck. Two hours, minimum, round trip daily. What a recruiting detriment.

That's one way of looking at it, to be sure.

The other way of looking at it might be if you're a marginal D2 player and your program is going FCS. You might be seeing the writing on the wall.

And Pitt fans complain about the facilities being 20 minutes from campus.
