Just because you say something doesn't make it true...

Boston is a PRO city first and always. UMass is irrelevant in the New England sports landscape. Do you really think that if people cared about UMass sports...especially football...they would be still languishing where they are?

Hell, even the UMass administration cares so little for their sports that they have invested only peanuts on infrastructure.

Hell.
No.

Ha ha...now replace Cincy for UMass and Southwestern Ohio for Boston and New England.

Except for the fact that it doesn't work... But hey, whatever.

UC does have a market penetration...especially in basketball...that UMass will never have. It was one of the reasons UC is labeled as one of the three programs that underpin the AAC media deal and, if they were to leave, would trigger a renegotiation.

Oh and UC invested $86 million in their FB stadium and another massive chunk of change in their BB arena. So call me when UMass antes up to the poker game. Until then...
