RE: Conference change: Miami to ACC, What Next?

[Shinkle, Randy]

UMass does not play 1-A football.  They've discussed moving up from 1-AA but have not yet acted on it.

I think UMass could very well be a candidate on the basketball side of the proposed 16 team Big East, in place of Xavier (if UC is invited for all sports) and along with either Marquette or DePaul.
