Thought Corey Schneider, Co-Founder and Executive Director, explained the Midnight Ride approach very well during the spring game. It's not transactional. The players need to want to be at UMass and coached by Don Brown. Then, the NIL objective is to supplement the players with every day expenses et...

I'd rather say we are a high mid-major team in a mid major world. With Frank Martin and his great staff, we'll be fighters and hopefully doing well. However it is up to YOU guys to support the Massachusetts Collective for players and the Court Club for the coaches, facilities and student athletes! ...

Relative to UMMBB, it sucks that the UMass Gives campaign starts tomorrow. You'd love to go into it with a little positive momentum from the Portal, as in who we picked up, rather than just the six departures. Three of the guys have even announced new spots already. We'll get there, but this lull r...

https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/2024-nfl-draft-why-the-secret-behind-macs-historical-success-can-work-in-transfer-portal-era/ This is a good article and will post less than half regarding the MAC's success in NFL draft and how it can work in the transfer portal era.

That’s a good one. “6 win talent.” And, yet, we finished 3-9. 1-11 the previous year, 1-11 in 2021… Maybe as college sports continues its downward spiral into free agency and the lowest possible program standard of success, it can base “bowl eligibility” on “win talent?” Maybe the 19-112 record aga...

Wow, just love Coach Frank Martin! Please support him and give to the Court Club and the Massachusetts Collective.

^ That right there is a good example of how NOT to sell this to the people that don't like the MAC move. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: How did Steve think that was a good idea? Oh lawdy Back in the day, they A10 always had great point guards. Where we lack was in what I called Big East size. If a m...

Renewed very early have not had any of these emails or calls. Idk what is in the message, but people are doing their jobs. If they contact you, complain, if they don't complain. Seems people like to complain. That said, don't know when season ticket sales open up to the general public. Someone poste...

This looks like a pretty good transfer for a MAC school. Clayton Sayfie @CSayf23 Michigan transfer Youssef Khayat has committed to Bowling Green. The 6-foot-9, 215-pounder totaled 36 points, 18 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals in 154 minutes and 26 games over two seasons at Michigan. https...

Move teams to another conference is a wee bit different than dropping teams from your department. Agree. Think we'll probably be able to keep them in the A10. This is some back and forth on the MAC board. The MAC has an excellent relationship with the MVC, so I would be very surprised if an arrange...

Remember, we are all UMass, we are not a basketball, football or hockey school we are UMass. We have opportunities, successes, and challenges. We want to be a Top 75 program and if people join. It can be a reality, especially if we set things up in this crucial window, 6 months to a year. https://mi...

Don't want to post to much, but if you want to know, then join with a small or right size investment in UMass by joining the Midnight Ride Collective. The first newsletter was in our inbox this morning. Hopefully Corey and Tim don't mind that I post a tiny bit of the introduction and the first of 10...
