The amazing thing to me is that UMass joined the MAC for ALL SPORTS.  UMass is not close to any MAC teams except Buffalo.  UMass once thought it had a good thing with all it's non-football sports in the A-10 but football once again is king.

Of course it helps that the A-10 ain't the basketball league it was 10 years ago.  It has turned into a 1 bid league in the 2020's.  Plus UMass basketball has not been great either.  Maybe UMass basketball can rebound in the MAC.

UMass has been averaging under 15k football attendence.

UConn used to average over 30k in the big east but now averages more like 22k as an independent.  UConn can get home and home series with P4 teams with similar attendence like Duke or Wake Forest,  but can only agree to buy games to be played at schools like Ohio St or Mich.

CFB in the NE is just not a thing. They have their Patriots.

UConn and UMass should be playing games against each other, and schools like Rhode Island, etc.

Then share this brilliant idea of yours with this guy:

Apparently I did something wrong, the above was supposed to be:

  • Get a DeLorean
  • Go back to the early 1980's using a MrFusion, and
  • Tell Joe Paterno

Do you think the ACC will survive mostly as it is today for five more years?
