You guys wanted smaller instead the MAC Adds Umass

Thanks for sharing.  I wonder if the MAC is in talks with another school to keep the number even.  Really thought Western Kentucky made a great deal of sense when they were close to joining the MAC.

yep

Middle Tennessee, Missouri State or Illinois State?

WKU is modt talked about and logical Umass good for B ball

I don't like any of them. None of these schools are going to bring more eyeballs or more money. Nobody was saying "eh, I don't care about BSU vs. Kent State on a Tuesday night, but BSU vs. UMass would be worth watching." I'm open to having my mind changed, but I see this as just one more team competing for the thing we can never win already. We're not a power conference and don't need to act like one.

Not sure anyone in the East. Army and Navy would have been nice, but that boat has already sailed. UConn would be nice, but they would not leave their basketball home.

let me recommend Western Kentucky Illinois State, and Indiana State. This adds a natural rivalry for N. Illinois, and Ball U.
