Re: 2024 Season

The G5 Hive run down with EMU media guy, Tom Helme, reporting of the Spring game with a lot of information as the Buffalo QB transfer is the strong favorite for a starter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG-Jbb1efQI Then there is Toledo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ripDcYdz0Y0 Miami https://www.y...

Re: Conference Realignment

No eldonabe, not just basketball. URI has been doing well in FCS, but their stadium was terrible. However, they have been given 65M by the legislature, with 42M towards replacing the east stands. The other side is restricted by the Ryan Center, but their is space in the south end zone for a football...

Re: MAC Sports topics that include Hoops

This is a post from the MAC board after Missouri State commits to CUSA and going FBS. At this point I would venture to say that WKU is off the table !! Seems that a good majority of their fan base want to stay put … That’s OK, time for the MAC to focus on an Albany, Stony Brook, or Illinois State ad...

Re: Conference Realignment

Missouri State moving to CUSA, probably solidifies Western Kentucky there as well. Time will tell if the MAC moves to 14 teams. Illinois State and Rhody are two possible teams with basketball history. Albany has potential in joining the MAC and being in the capital with a decent media market. Close ...

Re: The Midnight Ride Collective - Content and Coverage

Thought Corey Schneider, Co-Founder and Executive Director, explained the Midnight Ride approach very well during the spring game. It's not transactional. The players need to want to be at UMass and coached by Don Brown. Then, the NIL objective is to supplement the players with every day expenses et...

Re: New Transfer Rules

I'd rather say we are a high mid-major team in a mid major world. With Frank Martin and his great staff, we'll be fighters and hopefully doing well. However it is up to YOU guys to support the Massachusetts Collective for players and the Court Club for the coaches, facilities and student athletes! ...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

Relative to UMMBB, it sucks that the UMass Gives campaign starts tomorrow. You'd love to go into it with a little positive momentum from the Portal, as in who we picked up, rather than just the six departures. Three of the guys have even announced new spots already. We'll get there, but this lull r...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

That’s a good one. “6 win talent.” And, yet, we finished 3-9. 1-11 the previous year, 1-11 in 2021… Maybe as college sports continues its downward spiral into free agency and the lowest possible program standard of success, it can base “bowl eligibility” on “win talent?” Maybe the 19-112 record aga...
