Dan Malone reports UMass AD John McCutcheon is a finalist for the AD job at UC Santa Barbara.

If McCutcheon leaves UMass would need to bring in someone able to cope with getting into a conference for UMass football.

I watched NIU overwhelm Bowling Green in the MAC championship game last night. I think UMass has a better QB and better receivers. The Minutemen do not have a wrecking ball RB like the Husky's Cameron Stingily.

The NIU defense is also several notches better than UMass. Whipple still has some recruiting work to do in order for the Minutemen to play in a game like that.

USA Today says NIU routs Bowling Green in MAC Conference Championship. The Huskies had 334 yards rushing.

Hustle Belt says Huskies maul Falcons in Championship win.

NIU's convincing win puts them in contention for the "Group-of-five's" best team. Boise State needs to lose today's game against Fresno State.
