Message: [QUOTE="Kolumbo, post: 5348827, member: 4613"] If that is the case, then the UMass politicians are simply shooting themselves in the feet. All of those exceptional privates will continue to thrive, I would think. Growing the flagship U really benefits the state. Of course I have no doubt that politicians may be mucking things up. This was from the UMass Chancellor in 2011 on FBS and joining the MAC: "The announcement was made by Chancellor Robert C. Holub, who expressed how the move would gain UMass greater national recognition. "This move advances our aspirations to assume our rightful place in the upper echelon of national public research universities,” said Holub. “Our move to the top of the college football world now becomes part of our overall move towards ever greater national prominence.”" [/QUOTE]
