Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC
Watched some MAC games last night . yikes!! it was Toledo vs a bottom team. Way Way different than the A10. Tune in. This will be hard to watch. as fans we will adjust to the level of play but wow i was totally underwhelmed. All i can say is the football team better make strides right out of the ga...

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC
…the A10 is in decline Please elaborate. I am not sure the A-10 is in decline, but it is evolving in a different direction than Umass is. It is a basketball-centric conference - period. I guess you could refer to it as the Big East-Lite. What is unfortunate about all of this is that Umass should ha...

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC
I agree we shouldnt disparage any of the MAC schools. As mentioned they are similar in their mandates as public institutions and similar to Umass in many ways. the administration fell on the sword for the football program period Time will tell. the what ifs are many. Lots of comments stating this th...

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC
Through the time of this post: 38.5% hate or do not like it 23.9% are Meh on it Which means that 62.5% of voter are uninspired or worse by this move. It is a small sample, but the posters here are the die-hards. I cannot imagine the rest of people casually aware of Umass sports are feeling any bett...

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC
Just wanted to say absolutely no disrespect to the MAC teams. Our discussions have sparked our passion for the success of all Umass sports. Lots of unknowns which raises several concerns. The uncertainty of the landscape has brought chaos. I get the stability for football. However the basketball wil...

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC
I read that this morning and it is spot on. 100% agree! UMass should be striving for excellence, not mediocrity. UMass’ record vs. MAC-since 2012 is 8-35, as a conference member, 7-25; as an independent 1-10. Not good…. I made reference to the fact that at least hockey will continue to play at the ...

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC
Honest question. Would you rather be 6-6/7-5/8-4 in football in the MAC and make bowl games and be a top 4 team in the MAC year in and year out in basketball or would you rather be at best a 3-9 independent football team and a top 8 A-10 basketball team? There are reasons to dislike the move, espec...

Re: Conference realignment
it will be hard to recruit to this level and expect any success. I guess that's less of concern when you can reload your team each year with the portal

Re: Conference realignment
This sucks for all sports other than football, IMHO. So next season is last in A10? Let's hope we can start winning in the MAC. Northern Ill, Buffalo, Ohio, OMG. How are we going to sell seats in the Mullins Center for games against that crowd??? might as well move back to the cage or completely cl...
