Re: MAC Teams - Present and Future
Insider, in regards to your comment "Umass will have the best facilities and most investment in the MAC". Having a million dollar house in a neighborhood made up of $400K houses is never a good investment. To play devil's advocate. I like the analogy of kids trick or treating: UMass is th...

Re: Money talks
IIRC he said 8-10x "conference revenues". I'd take that to mean revenue UMass gets from the MAC vs from the A10.
I assume that includes things like TV, NCAA credits, etc. But does not include ticket sales, merchandise, or institutional subsidy.

Re: NCAA Revenues and Expenses
"Equity in Athletics" from the US Department of Education has financial data available including for private schools. Although it is more outdated than USA Today's. I'm also not sure if it's as comprehensive compared with USA Today's methodology / what they're able to find with FOIA reques...

Re: Casula to Michigan
UMass needs a seasoned OC who won’t change the dna of the offense too much. Based on the personnel, they need to stick with an option plan at this point. Can’t recruit or replace an entire offense in this time period, IMO. I wonder if Davidson's HC Scott Abell would be out of reach for an OC positi...

Re: FBS, CFP, and Conference Media Contracts
Think it's time to have a central FBS place to post media contracts and FBS distribution information. Will start with a series of post as the early CFP link now goes to an updated link and will do this one from memory. FBS distribution was set with 64.5% going to power conferences, which distribute...

Re: UMass Sports Insider
If it's more profitable to use machines, their implementation will happen regardless. Keeping that in mind, if a job currently exists, it means it is currently not practical or feasible to automate/outsource. If you need a person to do the job, the least an employer can do is give them some dignity ...

Re: 🗣 UMass to the MAC: Dedicated Thread
Stay in the Atlantic 10. UMass is a basketball school. With the Pac-12 likely completely disappearing, there will now only be five power conferences in college basketball. The A-10 will compete with the MW, AAC, and WCC for the title of 6th best conference. That will likely mean 2+ bids. There will...

Re: Service Unavailable / Resource Limit Reached
Sorry, Mike, I'm still getting 503 errors. On a side note, someone (maybe Steve81?) mentioned Tapatalk the other day. There is a Tapatalk plugin for phpBB. Would moving some of the mobile traffic to Tapatalk free up some resources? Maybe not the most straightforward solution, but it would be a nice ...

A number of fans are not alumni. People who grew up in the area, had friends/family who went to UMass, or some other connection to the university. Any and all are welcome!
