He thinks UMass could develop a decent program and thinks that they could become fierce rivals of UConn. He thinks the American is an ideal fit for that reason.

However, he also thinks the football program is grossly underfunded and that they would need to tear down their current stadium and build a smallish new on campus stadium - 20-25,000 seats.

He also thinks playing in Foxboro destroys the program. It was meant to be something they did for two or three years while they addressed their stadium in Amherst. It was never meant to be a permanent solution.
