Definitely one of the main stories of the year with schools like Stony Brook and Austin Peay making the commitment to scholarship football with other schools looking at the possibility as well. 27 scholarships thus far for Stony Brook with eyes on 63 in the near future. Hofstra, UMass and New Hampshire are on the schedule for the Seawolves. We'll be keeping an eye on you!
SBU introduces scholarships and chooses a rugged schedule

Chuck Priore has won 30 straight games. Three straight undefeated seasons. Three years without suffering an excruciating last-second defeat, three years without walking through a desolate postgame locker room, three years without dissecting a losing game tape.
That presumably will come to an end this season.
Stony Brook University's new football coach has no illusions of going undefeated. It is a first-year scholarship program with a schedule more suitable for a top-25 team.
Priore already has started playing amateur psychologist, talking to his team about all the different ways to measure progress.
"If you think the only success is winning, then you're setting yourself up for failure," said Priore, who came to Stony Brook after coaching the last six seasons at Trinity College. "The mental approach and improving is the most important thing for us. We need to set the correct goals and focus on improvement."
