On July 17, 2020, the Colonial Athletic Association announced that it would not play fall sports due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the conference is allowing the option for teams to play as independents for the 2020 season if they still wish to play in the fall.[1]
Previous season
The Seawolves finished the 2019 season 5–7, 2–6 in CAA play to finish in 11th place.
Schedule
Stony Brook had a game scheduled against Fordham on August 29, which was later canceled before the start of the 2020 season.[2] This game was replaced with a game against FBS Western Michigan, which would have paid Stony Brook $325,000. Stony Brook was also originally scheduled to play FBS Florida Atlantic, which would have paid Stony Brook $400,000.[3] Stony Brook's home opener was originally scheduled for September 26 against Sacred Heart.[4] All games on the original 11-game schedule were canceled on July 17, 2020.
The CAA released its spring conference schedule on October 27, 2020.[5]
