Stony Brook and Buffalo officially labeled as New York's flagship public universities
Anyone who's followed the New York higher education system knows how big of a deal this is. For decades, it was established that New York had four "university centers" on essentially equal footing (Stony Brook, Buffalo, Binghamton and Albany) and no formally designated flagship school.

Well, new governor Kathy Hochul said, "to hell with that" and officially proclaimed Stony Brook (and Buffalo) as the flagship schools of New York state, effectively putting us as the Cal/UCLA duo of New York (except I don't think California actually officially designated anything).

To show her dedication to the mission, she gave both Stony Brook and Buffalo $100 million for new academic buildings. It is unclear exactly what this means for sports, but it's an acknowledgement that Stony Brook and Buffalo are the 1a/1b of New York and that Binghamton and Albany are the 3a/3b - a tier below.

Now comes the official push to give Stony Brook a flagship-level athletic program, hopefully. The Seawolves have been waiting for a while. I would love if this means we can also get rid of Stony Brook athletic director Shawn Heilbron, who is the definition of "all talk, no substance."
