I have heard from a few people in order for them to afford Hofstra, they are given a really discounted rate on the venue. I mean things could have changed in the past few years.

I mostly said from what I hear as a normal disclaimer since I heard it through people. But they are both very reliable and heard it from sbpli so they really are trying for a second regional. Sbpli has not asked teams for money since 2014. That or I have just tuned out their speech about it at kickoff. I remember distinctively my freshman year being very confused with why what at the time to me was just an extension of first couldn't fund themselves. Their issues Iirc came from losing state issued money but based on them not asking for money and attempting to host a second regional I'm guessing they have been doing better lately. Hopefully it doesn't matter though when NY First gets created
