Today is the Ides of March, and Matty Vautour looks at the state of UMass athletics. He has some discussion of UMass football and includes this quote from AD John McCutcheon about a possible move to FBS:

"There are several dominoes that have to fall. Some of them have and some of them are lined up. But we still have several issues that need to be addressed and hurdles to clear for this to happen," he said. "I think there's some excitement about that and I think there's some frustration out there that we can't announce something quicker than we've been able to. It's a process. There are things in that process that are out of our control. It's been an issue that's been talked about here for years and years. To be this close to that possibility has to be creating some excitement."
