I'll express as a math equation then. Quality of education measured on a scale 0-10 with zero being the worst. The equation is: (YSU + CSU) x KSU = (1 + 1) x 0

Let me rephrase for better clarity. The quality of education at UofA dwarfs that of CSU, KSU and YSU combined.

You are envisioning a state of greed and a general state of athletic director destruction that I can't. This is what I can't see. The G5 schools go their own way and have a playoff. A 7-5 Indiana team gets invited to play in their playoffs in place of a G5 school? It would be more embarrassing for Indiana than an accomplishment. It's why some schools aren't even shameless enough to play in the CBI Tournament. If Indiana wins I'll, are they going to claim a national championship?

Some probably still do. What I do know is when it was all happening, it was giving some benefit to the athletes students alumni fans and general community around Youngstown. Isn't that we are trying to do?

This would never happen. Who would put them in?

I just hope that when they are done with the MAC, UMass doesn't forget to leave the money on the dresser.

UMass is a blood transfusion laced with Hepatitis. UMass only adds expenses for already broke schools so the expanded footprint is only a negative. There is absolutely nothing positive about UMass. At best, this news does nothing.

Think bigger. G5 schools need their own division. Then they need a separate commissioner for football who can organize the teams into a nation football conference. Then they can use their numbers to negotiate better TV deals and payday games.

I've seen this somewhere before, but I can't remember.

We should look for one then.

Am I the only one who could make fun of UMass joining the MAC, again, all day long?

It's a building process.

BTW. Was there a school smart enough to vote no when this came to a vite?

Presidents and ADs who want to open a door for their next job.

Good point. If they won more games against the SB, that would be catching up in my view.

...... UMass athletics is a sick joke.

I don't think most ACC football programs are as exciting to watch as you think.

If by breathing life you mean farting into the faces of MAC fans, I agree.

It brings in an athletic department that is worse than almost every existing mac school. It makes the MAC worse, not better.

Good grief.....

It devalues the league.

This isn't a solution to any problem the MAC currently has.

UMass helps us catch up to the SB?

The only program less exciting than Temple.

Complete trash.
