It’s filled with people younger than me now.

We definitely have the room. We don’t have the money or the will, but we have the room.

UMass is not taking a gamble. UMass looked at the landscape and then the future of that landscape and tried make the least worst decision they could. The MAC has a greater chance of surviving the apocalypse than an independent UMass would have.
