...I told you so, but I told you so.
No, this has nothing to do with SU, it has to do with UMass. I know, UMass?! Yes, UMass.
Somehow I missed the news from last spring/summer that UMass was leaving the MAC for football. Apparently they were only offered a 2-year football-only membership and then had to decide whether to go all-in with that conference, or have their football program leave it. They couldn't pull their hoops team out of the A-10, so they left.
I just became aware of this because I saw an item at lunch that they've turned to a media pro to help them build an independent schedule for 2016 since they have no AD at the moment.
Anyway, I recall when UMass announced that they were upgrading to FBS that I thought it was idiotic. Point, Scooch.
Although, this seems like a golden opportunity for UConn to lobby hard for the American to invite UMass to join. Sets up a wonderful New England rivalry across sports, right at the level both schools are appropriate for.
