Long Island University Football

[Danish43]

Looks like Long Island University wants to make a name for themselves. Hired a Head Coach from Saban's staff. Good luck to them as they lost many games by high margins.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LIU_Sharks:

The LIU Sharks are the athletics teams representing Long Island University's (LIU) campuses in Brooklyn and Brookville, New York.^[2] The Sharks compete in NCAA Division I athletics^[3] and are members of the Northeast Conference.^[4] The LIU Sharks are the result of the July 1, 2019 unification of the athletic departments which had previously represented two separate campuses of LIU, the NCAA Division I LIU Brooklyn Blackbirds and the NCAA Division II LIU Post Pioneers

The Brookville campus apparently was originally CW Post University.

I guess they're filling a void created by Hofstra dropping football after 2009, who was somewhat of a power in I-AA.

Why does anyone here care about this hire? I'm trying to figure out why this matters at all?

It doesn't matter to NT at all.  Yes, it should be moved to The Eagles Nest.

I disagree on all this, I DO think it's VERY relevant!  I mean, just look at the Sharks Team....Next Season they open against the Jets...

They're the Sharks? 

This sounds like a fun project team if they include them on NCAA 23.

Heck you never know, we might play them as they are an easy win and we usually get one of those once every season.

Plus the Sharks. The NCAA needs more sharks and another cool name. I could work in some LIU Shark gear into my offseason. Heck the Chanticleers need some competition for cool fad honors.
