3477 average home attendance. Wow! Maybe this is good considering the post pandemic years 2021/22 where you had to show a proof of vaccination to get in. In addition you’re giving Matt Cross all of the credit for increased attendance. What about Cohen, Diggins, Jayden, Curry, and HS The increase is...

Niles, what would it accomplish? If a P5 team came in with a substantially better offer after year 1, the kid is gone. You could put in monetary penalties that would at least give you money to compensate for the loss and put you in better position to find a replacement. It also might be possible to...

Niles How much money do you think Matt Cross made for the University? (Explain) UMass made alot more money for Matt Cross than he did for UMass. Matt Cross was partially responsible for some of the biggest crowds in the Mullins center in years. Give him 500 more per game at $20 a game for maybe hal...

I disagree. Aside from the fact that I'm not sure if they can legally restrict transferring anymore, a better solution might be for the collectives to sign kids to multi-year contracts. The collectives have no power to restrict a transfer. A multi year contract would hamstring the collective not re...

My thought is the only way to fix this is to give players one free transfer and then sit out a year on future transfers unless there is a coaching change. Most, if not all, players do not want to sit a year even if they are getting paid. However, the courts don't agree with this. I disagree. Aside ...

NCAA sponsored salary cap (they make all the money) is the only fair way. Tier the money to each program based on division/power of conference, and then let schools decide on allocation. There's a reason why professional teams have salary caps Hard cap (NFL), luxury tax, or NBA style? I don’t see h...

Another tweet from Frank. After his last tweet we heard about Matt Cross. I hope this doesn't repeat itself. Seriously, if Frank has 2 key transfers coming in, I will feel a lot better about this day. 👀🥊👉 https://buy.stripe.com/fZefZD8uGdWncXCdSO Why? With all due respect (And I mean that) why shou...

Final thought on Cross, even though he was such a warrior for two years, I hope the MassCo was able to terminate his contract immediately and save any remaining money for other targets. That has been the protocol with other transfers and it should be the same for Matt. Did Cross wait as long as he ...

Former Springfield Central and Boston College wide receiver Joseph Griffin Jr. has entered the transfer portal after two seasons with the Eagles. He was a four-star recruit who chose to attend Chestnut Hill versus other Division I schools in Notre Dame, Virginia, Duke, Wisconsin, Wake Forest, and U...

yup.........got the 529 and everything.....he wants to go to BC and just went to the BC spring game Hope you have 400k saved for it. BC gives little aid and is notorious for reducing what aid they do provide senior year because transferring senior year is an unlikely. yeah I heard that by a dad pay...

I like what we have returning. Add in Matt Cross, and we'll be in great shape. Obviously, though, we don't have a proven guy over 6'8''. I'm really pleased with our lack of activity in the portal, shows the staff has very strong relationships with our guys (though would really like to know more abo...

^That and we only currently have one roster spot open. I'm not surprised that we haven't brought in anyone yet, but I'm more surprised that the back end of the the roster is still intact. I thought we would have seen Worthy, Foster, or Majok enter the portal by now. A lot of people were high on Fos...

So true. Harvard has buildings that they use one or two times a year, but it's a private university with the biggest endowment in the world. My son is going to college soon and all the top 40 USNWR are like 85k/year. Wait... you have a kid going to college soon? You don't say.... yup.........got th...

Hasn't seemed more than anything in the past. 1 month and 1 week email reminders. I've gotten calls in the past but not so far this year. I got more than previous years and early on had responded to one of the messages that I knew the deadline and was going to renew. Not really an annoyance but see...

Is it me or is the Umass ticket office calling and emailing way to much to renew tix? Listen Mr Umass, it’s not my problem that the football team needs the money like yesterday! Let’s start with cutting back on the number of uniform combos, coaches, specialists, etc as you might find some savings i...
