So apparently The Collective had a $100K bag for RJ https://twitter.com/TheMassCo/status/1643359875638894594 Correct. We presented a 100k (with opportunity for 120+) over 2 years. Cost to us for LOI was $1,000. The RJ camp became uncommunicative several days ago. Pure speculation on my part, but I ...

So most of the defections are probably done: Now let's ask why? There used to be 2 main answers including I just did not like the place and/or the coaching/playing time. Now the NIL is a legitimate reason as well, but any combination of these can be comingled together. If you read my previous post ...

So did Bamford pass up on Micah Shrewsbury or that was never going to happen regardless? From Matt Vautour’s 3/27/17 column… “ According to sources familiar with the UMass coaching search, Boston Celtics assistant coach Micah Shrewsberry is no longer in the running to replace Derek Kellogg as men’s...

What an inappropriate, classless comment. The kid always gave 100% and should be respected for his dedication while wearing the UMass uniform despite his offensive deficiencies.

^ Just saw the message you put out indicating that signing RJ to a multi-year deal is a priority for The Collective. I doubt anyone would disagree with this being at the top of the list. Maybe I missed it, but I don't recall seeing that RJ has been signed as of yet? If true, I don't want to read to...

Yup, unfortunately the truth is painful, shameful and exhausting-1 NCAA appearance in 25 yrs.

I feel very fortunate to have such an accomplished, highly respected coach like Frank Martin overseeing our men’s program. But, when he makes the assertion that “I've never spoken about this publicly (ie the adverse, unfair effects that social media criticism can have on a college player/team) you k...

Really do not understand this thread at all, we have one person who is the smartest guy in the room looking to stir the pot on a subject that has been litigated and relitigated on this board for 13 years. Are they moving back to 1-aa, no, do they suck, yes. Is it your money, no. If you do not want ...

For someone who states you need to gather all the data, you sure have drawn many conclusions already, especially about the cost to taxpayers and struggling students. How do you arrive at these conclusions about these costs if you do not have the data? Here is an article https://www.masslive.com/uma...

Bay Area you think 1-aa is a smart play? What side of this are you on? Let''s look at why from a guaranteed game perspective: Florida State paid 1AA Alabama State $450k in 2019 (source USA Torday) Florida State paid UMass 1.5m in 2021. (source Mass live) It does not cost a 1m to charter a flight fr...

I don't have them handy, I'm sorry. They've been talked about here (pretty confident McKinney did a full breakdown in the past), on Twitter (ZachIsGod is a good person to check in with), on the more Football focused UMass board(s), and in-person discussions I've hard with Athletic Department people...

Ok, when people make assertions about financial or quantitative matters they typically accompany their claims with evidence/reasons based on hard data not some abstract claim that we are expected to accept at face value as a given. Let’s start with your “it’s been a smarter financial move for the U...

^ Whatever juice there is left to squeeze would likely get removed from the budget by the legislature anyways. I honestly don't understand why people think that dropping football will all of a sudden open up millions upon millions of dollars to other sports or academic programs... it's baffling. FB...

The easiest way to get into AAU is to merge the medical school and The flagship. Excellent point-we need to assign you a position on the Board of Regents!…if we merged with the Med School and included Worcester’s annual $280m research budget within UMass Amherst expenditures for pure and applied re...

Two very relevant questions the search committee should ask every candidate interviewing for the Chancellor’s position in Amherst… Question #1: “As the newly appointed CEO and campus thought-leader, how would you logically, strategically, and tactically respond if you inherited an active, 11-year ol...
