Right. The thing they will definitely have less of is fan interest and donors both of which have already happened. There were over 7,000 empty seats at their home game last night. If UConn left the Big East for a P4, we’d still have sold our arenas and lots of fan interest, media attention...
They are so interested 6 of the guys I golf with gave up their season tickets just like many others did when they found out they chose to move into the MAC. Yeah they were never fans to begin with but went to games for decades before this. It doesn’t even make sense why you are twisting...
I never said I was a UMass fan. I’ve lived in western MA my whole life and my dad is a grad and I’ve been to a lot of games there over the years and also know a ton of UMass grads. They aren’t bringing anywhere near 9k for MAC games now or in the future because the league is horrendous...
Yeah and it takes a MAC team going undefeated into the last month of the regular season for anyone to talk about them and their power rating is 90. The casuals aren’t coming back for the MAC unless UMass wins really big like Calipari era big and that ain’t happening
Yeah that’s why they have less season ticket holders by a lot and donors too. They will need to dominate the MAC like Gonzaga does the WCC and have multiple NCAA tournament appearances for people to buy in again. It won’t do the trick to beat Eastern Michigan and Bowling Green a few more times...
It’s a 9500 seat capacity that is hosting awful MAC teams where it will always be at LEAST half empty and many times 2/3 empty. I don’t mean obsolete in terms of how it looks or anything. UMass just downgraded their basketball program in a huge way and they will never need an arena that big...
The MAC would be horrible regardless. Miami is one of two undefeated teams left and they are at #90 in Kenpom. Their only hope of making the NCAA tourney is win the postseason tournament whether they win every MAC game or not. UMass is in a spot where they lost tons of season ticket holders and...
UMass won’t make the commitment to change. It’s a dumpster fire and will only get worse. No one cares. They missed their opportunity when Calipari galvanized the state with their flagship sport - basketball. There was a buzz even in eastern MA and they needed to take that momentum to the state...
A couple of you have referenced this but in SO many ways life was better without cell phones and younger people will never understand that
Also - college sports were ruined by football (because that’s what drove realignment). It was definitely better when you had true regional conferences. Not...
BC vs UConn in 2002 at the HCC. It was similar to yesterday - we were down 10 with less than 3 min left and came back to win in OT. This was the game that featured an amazing dunk by Tony Robertson. It was so awesome to own bcu forever
Oh man look at that schedule. Maybe they can move their games to Amherst College instead of playing in a Mullins Center filled to 15% capacity? The Cage would have been perfect but I know that’s been repurposed
