Conference carousel to start spinning again?

and joining the MAC. Good rational decision purely driven by foosball.

At least we'll get to see Angry Frank lay down a beating on Travis/Miami now.

UMass leaving the A10.

Wow.

So, how many arenas will there be in the A10 that have over 5k seats after UMAA leaves - that don't look like high school gyms?

Virtually everywhere west and south of Pennsylvania.

(except the bandbox at GW)

Clemson joins FSU in suing the ACC to get the hell out.

Missouri State from MVC to CUSA. They will be moving their football up to FBS. The thing is they weren’t really all that good at the FCS level, so it may be a tough landing.

Grand Canyon and Seattle U from the WAC to the WCC in 2025. I think that takes the WCC out to 13 if Wazzu and Oregon State remain in the league. Gonzaga seemed pretty adamant that they did not want Seattle U in the conference. At least that was the rumor. I guess things change.

Angry Frank being a coach in the Mid American Conference is amazing. WOW.

I really like the MAC. I also really like Frank Martin and think UMass has a lot of potential to grow as a program.

But...the two don't really seem to go together. UMass is not a MAC school.

UMass needs to bring back their women's gymnastics program so that I can take a trip up to Amherst.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone make this statement before.

They were an afiiliate member for football at one point, so it's not completely far fetched.

Now I wonder what the UMass-Buffalo rivalry would be like; that's the closest school in the MAC to Amherst.
