Thank you.

Why? Because you hate their politics? A lot of people hate a lot of universities politics. That shouldn’t be a factor.

I’m fairly apolitical…so maybe my perspective is different…and maybe I’m crazy…but I think both sides are idiots who are trying to decide which grandpa is going to run the country. ***** crazy.

I wouldn’t let that crazy in to college football…or anywhere really…other than politics.

That was perfect. What's wrong with people?

The topic is sports. Do they play a good brand of it or nah? I don't care what their thoughts on abortion are. Just like I don't care about what our thoughts on White Tiredness are.

How about because it’s a fake, online university that has no place in higher education?

And who cares about the higher education there. Clearly most of the colleges everywhere these days don’t. It’s about the money and markets. Liberty wins in football. That’s what matters and they would have the deepest pockets in the MAC too.

Earned rating points for noting "the only exposure we really get is from sitting in the cold and wind on Tuesday nights in November." Excellent!

Oh sure, you were talking higher education? Tell me what taking an anthropology class, not by choice, has to do with my economics degree and my career? Forcing **** electives on people that cost full $$$ is fine, and welcome, in education. Learning on the internet is where we draw our line?

Wtf year is this?

I thought it was funny. And I agree. It's not a school that belongs with a bunch of public universities. Even though Liberty is the best university in the entire 6,000 year history of planet Earth.

And we're already on the "crazy" ship. Money is the only thing that matters, it stopped being about college athletics some time ago.

I couldn’t disagree more. I still care about higher education, and many others do too. Particularly since 99% of players will not be professional athletes.

The conference would have a wide range of viewers with those additions and they can create the deal where not all the schools are playing mid-week.

Not so sure about being guaranteed "a wide range of viewers" by adding a split deal with an Apple/Amazon/YouTube outfit. Check B1G school chat rooms and you'll see a lot of anger and discontent with events not airing on the Big Ten Network but being farmed out to Peacock. Apparently even B1G alums aren't too keen on paying extra.

Anger is putting it mild.

Get B10, pay more for B10+, then they added Peacock.

I have the same damn credentials....my economics degree is backed by anthropology, astronomy and EPSE classes. I'd tell people to get those gen eds at CC but living in the dorms was the funnest **** ever.

And I thought this was a thread about UMASS returning to the MAC. WOW.

It's the dead ass off season. I'm not sure UMASS is really going to carry the conversation for the 9 remaining members of the Dogpound.

Will Huskie Stadium have lobster rolls instead of hotdogs for the UMass games?

Discuss.

I'll just leave this here.

It hasn't been about education for about the last 3-4 season. Strictly $$.

I will say it is only that way for Football & Men's BBall. Everything else is non revenue generating and most schools.

They shouldn’t even be accredited, but money talks.

The one good thing for UMass joining the MAC is to hear a Minuteman fan say barb wire when they play in DeKalb.
