@TheCursiveU@CPoolReporter This months article takes a creditability hit, as not INDY plus
"UMass is also worth noting here because during FY25, the Minutemen were still competing as an FBS independent. Their $15.9 million football expense figure placed them 21st on this list before their move into the MAC
@FightMA01003 Don't buy, UMass has plenty of land as across from McGuirk for instance. The campus is one thousand, four hundred and fifty acres. That is 20 students per acre.
@FightMA01003 Hawaii was schedule when we were independent and had been trying since going to the MAC to dump the series. Look it up or see my reply to another just posted.
@MinutefanJSF@FightMA01003 We are both right. That 250k buyout offer was on the table last football season. It was until Sacramento State joined the conference and took the H&H that Hawaii accepted the deal. They argued the whole time that they wanted a FCS home game to accept the buyout offer.
@MinutefanJSF@FightMA01003 Stonehill worked either way, if Hawaii wouldn't agree to a lower buyout of 250k. As with a Hawaii game, you r allowed a 13th game. Sacramento State took the home & home Hawaii series. Stonehill was scheduled months before Hawaii agreed to the 250k buyout and Sacramento booked it.
@FightMA01003 Well, we are going half the distance to play in Calif. UMass scheduled Stonehill as you said last year. That was good as a 13th game if Hawaii wouldn't budge for that lower 250k figure. Sacramento knew they were voted in and wanted the Hawaii game. It was a win-win.
@shewless11 An enterprise rental for a Toyota Corolla is about 297 for a week at Sacramento and 597 at San Francisco. But the dreaded red eye flight back 11:pm midnight and 11:58am next day arrival with 2+ hours at JFK.
@TheMassCo@ballandlaw I've search the site and do not have a current email copy of my receipt to cancel my support of MassCo. Do not support calling out the AD and HC and omitted that MassCo has missed with the level of NIL money to various players. I do not have a Stripe acct & need a link to cancel
@ReboundRundown You get to play the 8th seed as the reward. Not the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth or 7th seed. The 8th seed. Your guys slept through the first few plays and were not ready and UMass was, that is how I saw it.
@Sportico What is indirect institutional support, as the student's 11M for 26k undergraduates is $423 & think it compares well national but how do the total figures compare to UConn or BC. The other FBS figures. Be interest to see figures next year, without conference exit & entrance fees.
@EliSlovin@WW3thefuture This would be great!!! Common on 'Pop', make your mark and excel at UMass!!! Know how much you are wanted here and close to your family seems like very nice icing on top.
@GoTeamSportsNet Compare UConn Football budget over the past decade, or year & is it disgraceful the state did to our program. That is one of the many causes of the terrible performance. The state did increase the support this year, thou very small and Don Brown salary is wrong & slanderous, 700k
@WW3thefuture@JumaaneFord Impact for yourself, career, & program. Think how Jim McCoy started the ball rolling for the Cal Era. @UMassFootball was the path to players & coaches in the NFL as Liam Cohen, Isaiah Rogers & future Pop Watson. Julius was great, Cal brought us back, like the impact you can make!
@FightMA247 21 signed today, 15 being 3 star recruits plus an unrated beast from overseas. The foundation is being built and to keep most of the recruits despite the records is impressive. Credit to the coaching staff in their beliefs, recruiting and getting it done to build the future.
