Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

Great news on the collective and returning players front. VOR, idk as not a P4, but we are their farm league. They can watch certain players and grab them in the NIL. They also schedule us to fatten up their wins and steal coaches as well. It is the Wild Wild West. The days when Cal did wonders is g...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

The ONLY solution to this is to allow the power schools to break off from the NCAA and do their own thing. And let the rest try to maintain some semblance of understanding what college sports were originally intended to be when things started out. The fact is that if you were to give any D1 athleti...

Re: Audio Podcast Why UMASS is leaving the A10

We use to play UConn regularly years ago in both football and basketball. Hard to keep these regional things going. UConn was a different issue. They refused to play us and then agreed with Steve Lappas. But sins of all sins, we beat them and never played us again. Think URI will be an easier sell ...

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC

I was not jumping to any conclusions, just stating the facts. Ignore the facts if you wish. No one is ignoring it will suck for you, Matty V or a majority of fans, who identified as primarily hoops person*. Everyone agrees the MAC is not as good as A10 in basketball or Women's lacrosse. The rest of...

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC

There will be 4 leagues with teams from New England rated higher than us. Big East 6 A-10 8 Ivy. 11 American East 15 MAC 23. Teams like Vermont and UMass Lowell will be in tougher leagues This was pointed out by Matt Vantour. This move makes no sense to me There are ebbs and flows but the A10 will ...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

I know I have already decided not to renew football and basketball is likely as well because it is hard to watch what is going on and not feel good about this. I don’t want our boosters and the unversity to sell ourselves out for what is becoming clearly the end of amateur college basketball. It’s ...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

Going to try to make a game next year. Like Frank Martin and the type of players he is recruiting. NILs are killing the sport. Even thou Akron lost today, did watch a tweet where 3 of their guys played together for 5 years. It meant a lot to the players. The twitter feed is crazy, but did find John ...

    Hope your right but I doubt it. Will revisit in 2026.
    We'll be revisiting this every year. Hoping Western Kentucky will be the 14th team. Give them almost a zero chances of beating Creighton.

    Glad both teams won and now in the field of 32. This is a good year for the A10 and especially happy for the Dukes.

    Re: FBS, CFP, and Conference Media Contracts

    Steve, what are your predictions on UConn football? Them and Notre Dame will be the only independents remaining in 2025. They seem to be a good fit to the ACC if FSU and/or Clemson leave, but they have been a bridesmaid so many times. Who knows as they did sue over BC and others going to the ACC. T...

    Re: Money talks

    That money has been spent the same way other schools spend it. Athletics, outside of a small handful of schools, is a negative on the budget sheet. Schools do it as a cost because it is generally good for the image, pride, alumni relations, etc. for the school. ... In the last 41 years, Basketball ...
