Big South announces four-year extension with Stony Brook

NCAA Football Betting Lines

09/01/2010 - Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Big South Conference announced on Wednesday a four-year extension of a football agreement with associate football member Stony Brook.

"Stony Brook has been an outstanding football member for the Big South Conference," said conference commissioner Kyle Kallander. "They have strong leadership, are a class act, and obviously are very competitive. We are thrilled to extend our relationship with the Seawolves."

Stony Brook, though based in Long Island, has been a factor in the conference the last two seasons, compiling an 8-3 record while finishing as runner-up in 2008 and as co-champion in 2009. Head coach Chuck Priore was named Big South coach of the year last season.

"Stony Brook is excited and honored to continue our relationship with the Big South Conference," said director of athletics Jim Fiore. "We have a tremendous amount of respect for the administrators, coaches and student-athletes who represent the conference."

Cornerstone members of the football conference include Coastal Carolina, Liberty, Virginia Military Institute and Charleston Southern.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship.  Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92.  After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points.  Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1.  Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years.  With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed.  UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern.  Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier.  OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak.  Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four.  It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta.  But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
