The word is UAB is shutting down its football program, would that leave a slot in Conference USA for UMass?

Conference USA has former CAA foe Old Dominion, Marshall and two Florida schools (an area Whipple likes to recruit) and would be excellent place for the Minutemen to land after 2015. UMass would bring a Northeast media presence to Conference USA.

UMass should also be able to compete in football in Conference USA right away. The AAC would be even better in terms of athletic profile, but Whipple would have a much tougher job getting UMass into a winning profile in that conference.
