UMass, Big East Question From Hartford Courant Blog

Post by Rory » Thu May 20, 2010 9:57 pm

Q: Does Umass playing at Gillette Stadium this year mean they might begin the process to move up to FBS and possibly join the Big East? - Matt, Philadelphia

A: Don't know Matt but I haven't heard anything like that being the case. I haven't. If something like that were to occur wouldn't you rather see it done with Villanova?

Obviously this is just a random question from some guy in Philly. However, I thought it was worth bringing up since things are slow this time of year.

Moving to a BCS conference would certainly be a change, and would definitely bring positives to the basketball program. Say it was even possible; do people here believe there are other major downsides?

By the way, how does this one question constitute a mailbag? Great stuff from the Harftord Courant!
