That is the question many people are asking on many boards. I
don't think they are a candidate for a major conference ACC,
CUSA. So I thought the MAC was a good fit.

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.

They should.. My guess is Stacey Bedell left for SB because
UMASS Football is a disaster and only getting worse..

Hammer that is the best guess . UMass needs to start playing
home games on campus. Imagine driving to Giants Stadium on
Saturday to see SBU play. Folks aren't going to do it
especially with a losing program plus most Boston area fans are
Patriot fans first.

UMass will resume playing 1/2 of their games at home this year.
Their stadium renovation is complete.
That said, I have NO idea what will happen with their football
program.
When Temple up and left on short notice a few years ago that
completely pulled the rug out from underneath UMass (and the
MAC).
And I guess Temple FB is a mess now too. Temple hurt a lot of
folks, including themselves.

bigger conferences too quickly...

I have to think the MAC was making a power play to get UMass
elite mid major bball program under their umbrella. The MAC had
nothing to lose, UMass isn't bringnig much to the table, and
they missed an opportunity to do the same to Temple a couple
years back.

I still hope around 2020 that we have the stadium and fan
support that an FBS move requires, regardless of whether that
move ever happens.

2020 is a reasonable target. I think we can do a better job
than UMass in a step up. Builds up the fan base as I really
hope we can we. We have two respectable venues to keep filled.
