I really would not be shocked to see UMass end up as an
independent until the next set of realignments (which we all
know is going to happen by 2020).
C-USA and Sunbelt for UMass are good fits academics/athletics,
but not geographic. AAC is good geographic, but not athletic.
As for us, I'd really like to see us stay in the CAA and America
East until we get establish dominance.

ESPN article indicates:
1). MAC seems very content at 12 teams.
2). UMass will not go down to FCS. They will be in the MAC for
two seasons so they have time.

James Madison to C-USA.
IF MAC is interested in expanding, it might need to be Delaware
and SBU.
They 'fit' and their location is okay. Need 'two to dance' and
those two could partner. Otherwise, I see nothing along the
mid-Atlantic for the MAC.

Towson seems like an obvious consideration if you are throwing
JMU into the mix. I really dont see SB going up a level until
they can get sustained fan base at their games. sure,
Homecoming was a sellout, but for other games, the stadium was
half full, and its a small venue now. if we can generate enough
interest to pack the house for all games, then I'd say lets give
it a try. otherwise, lets just look to get better in the CAA,
win a few conf. championships, and make deep runs into the FCS
playoffs.

That would be a quantum leap now. I agree a few more years,more
fans and more wins!

Besides, we don't even have a permanent Director of Athletics. I
don't see even consideration of a conference move until a new
one is hired and he/she gets a couple of years on the job at SB.

Terence West of Towson had his pro day yesterday, apparently he
ripped it up. Hopefully Coker can be our beast this season in
the backfield

How do you know this guy is any good? He ended up fourth or
fifth on the Rutgers spring depth chart. What does that tell
you?

I don't. All I know is he is a ESPN 3 start recruit. As a coach,
you have to keep all options open and put your feelers out there
..

We already have plenty of qb options for next years team (six in
spring ball, three more coming in for camp in August). If were
looking for transfers, I hope they can bring in a big athletic
inside linebacker.
