Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

Interesting Forbes take on the local economic effect of a team moving "up conference" in realignment...

It should definitely be a boon to Texas State playing all those other large State programs. I spend no time in Storrs these days but the campus has changed so much for the better since I was roaming the mudways. I thought there was a good chance that the mindset of the local Mansfieldeers would gradually change over time to embrace the economic engine that is UConn. The senior folk there grew up watching UConn become a national powerhouse.

UMass is a school which could have done a much better job with its athletics department and has big potential. It's already an excellent public academic school, great location, and investing heavily in football would be a huge marketing opportunity benefitting all campuses. I'll just leave it at that.

Unfortunately, UMass is in a terrible location given the population center of Massachusetts is in Eastern Massachusetts almost 2 hours away. And, the politicians in Massachusetts, unlike in Connecticut, do not care about UMass athletics.

Not many land grant state universities are in big population centers.
It’s not like UConn is in downtown Hartford. It’s in one of the least populated parts of the state.
 
Sigh....the artist said it wasn't a Husky.
Nope, that's incorrect. He said he based his picture of a husky using his Samoyed as a model. In fact, we have had a Samoyed husky mix as our actual mascot.

UMass is in a great location. Penn State is at least 2.5 to 3.5 hours away from Pittsburgh and Philly and does great. Yeah, the politicians suck but the location is a plus.
