thanks POP I broke it down and its not pretty. Over the last ten years Hofstra has won 16 CAA championships. 6 by the men and 10 by the women. Over the last 4 years we have won 3 championships. mens soccer Softball and Volleyball.So the graduating class of 2017 have only seen 3 teams win. Non are the major sports at Hofstra. I see maybe two teams that have a shot at a CAA championship. Its mens soccer and Volleyball. Thats it.

Hofstra has 35 CAA team championships. In the same amount of time, Drexel, Delaware, and Towson have an avaerage of 15. Drexel has only 4. In much fewer seasons, College of Charleston has twice as many as Drexel.

If you haven't already done so, I encourage everyone on the boards to make a donation to the Hofstra Pride Club at this link
https://www.hofstra.edu/athletics/ath_giving.cfm

There is extra push today for Hofstra's annual Day of Giving and would be great to see athletics get a big boost. You can designate the gift for any sport you want and our programs could use all the support they can get. Every donation no matter how small can go a long way to helping our student-athletes shine on and off the field. Go Hofstra!

Done. With a specific designation and company matching the gift.

Great work! The more support we can lend the better.

Basketball, Lax, Wrestling, Softball, Volleyball, Soccer. This is HU. And honestly, if there was one sport that should be here, IMO, it's Hockey. I know it costs a lot, but this is the NE, there is a market here, fans here, and it makes sense.

Lose the other stuff and let's start getting serious about actually WINNING instead of spreading thin on sports that just don't move the dial.

Clearly I'm salty recently :lol: Anyone else losing their patience with the nonsense going on, or just me?
Well, if there's free money involved, Hofstra will listen...

Would love it, but don't see it due to issues such as insurance costs and rental fees to play either at Coliseum or Eisenhower. Hofstra isn't in position to add any more sports, especially one as expensive as hockey.

I can't imagine insurance costs are any different than football, right?

Renting the rink is another story. A partnership with the new coliseum should be a no-brainer to help in that regard.

But I'll tell ya, Hofstra Hockey would be something I could really get behind - and I'm not even much of a hockey fan (yet). I believe that sport and program could do well at HU. The LI area is ripe for it IMO.

It's time to re-vamp the dept. anyway... lose the non-relevant stuff and focus efforts on the key sports and that key new addition. I'm sure there are ways it can be done.
HU should be all over that NHL program - could be the major boost needed.

Time to bring this back up, since women's soccer just won the CAA championship, and capped off a perfect conference season! What a perfect example to turn it around and set a winning precedent for the rest of the teams. This team didn't even qualify for the CAA tournament last year.
