Andy Isabella did not win the Biletnikoff award. The winner, Jerry Jeudy from Alabama was 19th in the nation in receiving yards and 7th in receiving TD's (!?). Explain that one.

Matty Vautour says Bell's success will be difficult to define. Pundits frequently talk about the costs and difficulties of doing something. They rarely comment on the costs of doing nothing. FBS independence is difficult to be sure. However, if UMass wants to in the AAC with Temple and UConn---and that would be a big boost to basketball and the Olympic sports, then our current status is the only way to go.
FCS football (or no football at all), would forever close that option. Bowl tie-ins would come if we win some games.
