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.
