Re: Conference Realignment

Your point is taken. I was probably mesmerized by the warm-up mask. Is Ivan Putski a valid hero to root for? Polish Power!

Mil Mascaras remains my all-time favorite wrestler. He is 81 years old now.

Re: Money talks

If we lose three games in the MAC season, lose three games OOC, and lose in the MAC final, do we still get an invite to the Big Dance?

Re: MAC Teams - Present and Future

My biggest sticking point remains the fact that the MAC is only getting one hoops team into the Big Dance each year. Tough to convince a player that he will get a solid chance to play in the Big Dance (and generally as somewhere around a seventh seed) especially if he can come up big and lead the te...

Re: 2023-24 Season

Promising season. Provides hope for the future.

To quote a Cage crowd from the mid 70's, "NIT..NIT..NIT"

I'd take it at this point. Could see the NIT matching us up against a MAC team.

Re: NCAA Revenues and Expenses

You can access the methodology tab at the bottom where we read that public schools are the only schools that are obligated to provide their information. Private schools or public schools that are covered under a state exemption can be exempt.

NCAA Revenues and Expenses

https://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances I'll leave the commentaries to the financial gurus amongst us (myself certainly excluded from that category), but I did find this sortable revenues and expenses information compiled in June 2023. The big boys are listed in the top tiers. The A10 has four te...

Re: UMass is back in the MAC

The later in the season you get, the more meaningful the games can be, so the MAC is looking for the casual fans to tune in to the Prime Time games. It will be a good sign if they sign up UMass for some late season Weekday Prime Time games.

Re: UMass is back in the MAC

^^ My intent was not to come off as a jerk. When you included the Akron home attendance, I interpreted it as a comparison and I was offering some probable context for the significant difference.

Re: Minutemen in the NHL

Quick signs a one-year contract extension with the Rangers for a cool 1.275 million. 13-5-2 this season with 2.45 goals against and a .916 save percentage.

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC

My biggest concern is that a MAC championship gets the winner a 6 seed in the Big Dance mainly on the basis of SoS. An at-large bid is dependant on an aggressive OOC schedule with some solid wins and a good showing in the conference championship game and a lot of crossed fingers. Prospects of an inv...

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC

First of all, I recall some good discussions with the MAC fans here when we joined the MAC for football some time back. So, with apologies those good people, I am very underwhelmed by today's events. We remain mainly a hoops fanbase, with solid support for hockey and lacrosse and took a liking to wo...
