We're moving to FBS!

Multiple media sources say UMass will announce the move to the MAC and FBS level tomorrow at a press conference at Gillette.

There are numerous other articles, but they are all basically saying the same thing. We'll have more details on the move later including details about games at Gillette.

I feel this is just the start of UMass' move to a national athletic program. The Blog hopes to see a journey that will include financial stability for the whole UMass Athletic Dept, increased resources for UMass women's sports, football in a FBS conference w/a bowl game-------and some killer OOC football games against Big East and BCS opponents!

Go UMass!
