The Boston Herald reports there are talks about Boston College, UConn and UMass playing each other regularly. This would be good news for all three schools. There should be a New England Champ trophy. A New England series would help all three school's attendance and it would be a low cost bus trip. It's too good an idea to not to happen.

Quote from the article:"Eagles athletic director Brad Bates likes the idea of having the three New England FBS schools playing each other on a regular basis."
