Re: Conference Realignment

Mil Mascaras remains my all-time favorite wrestler. He is 81 years old now. That's like saying Curley Joe is your favorite Three Stooge. Everybody knows Curley or Shemp is the all-time favorite Stooge. George the Animal Steele or Bruno Sammartino are among the best along with The Moondogs Rex King ...

Yeah, like that time the Million Dollar Man paid off that guy to get plastic surgery to look like Referee Dave Hebner and steal the WWF Championship from Hulk Hogan.
The Million Dollar Man = Ted DiBiase (don't forget Virgil) :lol: :lol: :lol:

Re: Conference Realignment

^ Western Kentucky might be better for the MAC strictly from an athletics program (basketball and football) standpoint, but I'd personally prefer to see Delaware instead, if that's a possibility, as they'd be more of a peer for UMass and could make for nice rivalries along with Buffalo. I was just ...

Re: Money talks

So happy we left the A-10. Congrats to the BOT, thought it would never happen!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: We finally have a Chancellor and AD who give a damn. Like I've been saying, the A-10 is such a sad sack place now. My first year at UMass I attended ONE hoops game and I think we went 2-24. It was the ...

Re: Money talks

Obviously the money derived from the MAC all sports will increase from being an FBS indy.......only because FBS indy pays virtually no money. We were on TV 5 times? last year. ESPN for NMSU and Army and then ACC TV and SEC TV. But that was only because we were in body bag games. Congrats to the Boar...

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 ...

Re: Money talks

^ I hope you're right. How has all that money been spent? The football team has not been good and now we're joining a mediocre conference that essentially flushes basketball down the toilet. How is that good for UMass? How has all that money been spent? what do you care? Like it's any of our person...

Re: Money talks

Shoulda dropped football and invested in hockey and hoops...men's and women's in both sports. At least you didn't say "drop down to FCS" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Thing is: UMass is an above average-ish flagship State University. USNWR has us at #67 National universities and #25 or so of th...

Re: Money talks

Of course, but dropping football wasn't the answer either. And knowing how MA works, no way the football budget would remain available to be used towards other thing athletic, or even academic, related things. The Commonwealth would just take that money away completely.... foolish to think otherwis...

Re: Money talks

The money is much greater in the MAC than being an indy and A-10. Everyone is forgetting that we wouldn't even have FBS football if we didn't jump to all sports MAC. As of now, the only indys as of July 1, 2025 are Notre Dame and UConn. Actually only UConn. ND is in the ACC and CHOOSES to play the i...

Re: MAC Teams - Present and Future

are you people serious, the MAC basketball teams are horrible. They got the auto 1 NCAA bid and zero NIT bids. vs the Atlantic 10 which got 2 NCAA and 4 NIT bids. Our basketball program is going to suffer big time in the talent level they can recruit. Oh yea, our team will still be competitive in t...

Re: Money talks

Being an independent was a short term thing. No CFP $$$ no conference rev sharing no conf championship to play for. Move had to made and the A10 got 2 into March Madness vs. 1 for the MAC. Big deal.
