Just read the Newsday article concerning the Big Ten and Temple. Have also read a number of articles regarding the CAA and the pending size of its football program. I am starting to get concerned about the future of UMass sports. We could possibly get lost in the shuffle of conference alignments to come. Someone in athletics needs to be pro-active, and not re-active.
I have become convinced that membership in a FBS conference is not going to happen so I hope to see a FCS conference evolve along the geographic lines of the ACC. Our travel costs would go up but we would separate ourselves from the weaker CAA programs. That should generate increased revenue and better recruits for all sports, esp bb.
Attendance is a function of marketing as can be seen by the lacrosse game vs Syracuse 4/25 being moved to Alumni Stadium with a marketing blitz by the AD to establish an attendance record.

With a similar effort in support of the fb program we would see an increase in attendance and financial support for the football program.
