UMASS Moving to Division 1-A

[JESUS,family,rutgers]

Several sources here in the East have said they expect Massachusetts to make an announcement soon about moving to Division 1-A and join the Mid-American Conference. Seems very overdue for a large public university in a state with a large population. With the current economy,the timing seems strange,but some people think there are other colleges in the East considering going to Division 2 or dropping football altogether.
