Well thought out decision by them to move to D1

So now it's either AAC or back to FCS?

funny how UMass' top four sports are in four different conferences

Football: MAC
Basketball: A-10
Hockey: Hockey East
Lacrosse: whatever lacrosse conference they're in that I don't care enough to look up.

Now they are free to bring in SEC opponents for every home game! With this power play, they've officially passed BC!

I read somewhere that a potential landing spot could be the sun belt for football

I was hoping the jump up would work out well for UMass. I still think a good football rivalry would help drum up interest among the casual fans in the long run.

...which never would've happened with UMass. Other than Utah-BYU and maybe Colorado-Colorado State are there any examples of a major conference school whose primary rival is a mid-major?

Syracuse is our primary and natural rival, there's no need to try to force a rivalry with a mid-major school.
