Does this mean UConn finally caves in and moves back to FCS? It's literally them and ND as the only FBS Indy schools left.

I wonder if the MAC will be adding FSU next.
The only effect this has on UConn is that maybe UMass will stop scheduling them. Maybe.
UConn's scheduling strategy of selling a few beat downs, plus bundling FB and BB home and homes, seems to be working for them.
You gonna lock this thread too at the mere mention of mighty FSU?
Yes, for all sports. They had been in the MAC for football only for awhile, but the MAC made an "all or nothing" ultimatum, to which they have finally agreed.
The master of thread locking for no good reason still hasn't answered the question
You seriously don't know the reason? You linked articles/information from a competing site. DUH! Ask @Richard Schnyderite about that.
Rivals didn't have an article up about it. Last I checked, they still don't.
Kind of weird that the other site would, yet this site, which has lost tons of members with the switchover, wouldn't be reporting on that.
F$U is going straight to the NFL, right?
Probably the best move for them at this point to sustain football. Sucks a bit for hoops but they haven’t been great in that lately and the MAC isn’t horrible in basketball.
It was the Great Knight Shift who predicted before that game: "Ash will Smash Mass"!!!!!
#LEGEND.
What was the name of our starting QB that game? Lasted one more start vs. Iowa, got knocked out and that was that. As they said in Goodfellas, “We ran into a little problem and there was nothing we could do about it.”It was the Great Knight Shift who predicted before that game: "Ash will Smash Mass"!!!!!

He was no Kyle Bolin, but his name was McLane Carter. Valid attempts to up talent at the QB position.

I thought we had something with him after that game but I remember Iowa having a really good D and laying a big hit knocking him out of the game. I think that last injury forced him to say enough is enough.
It's McLane Carter. Legends don't misspell.
In that UMass game, Carter set an RU record for most passing yards by a left-hander.
We weren’t very good. Wasn’t that the Littlepage time or at the tail end of Tom Young?
UMass' departure from the A-10 leaves only two charter members from the old Eastern Eight, and only one charter member with continous membership. (The other left and came back.) Can you name them?
I thought Tom Young really recruited him hard. Maybe why he left if he couldn’t win recruiting battles against UMass. He was a good player but what the heck was Hempel thinking?
He was a very good player who would have helped RU tremendously
Worst case scenario.
As an independent their price was a lot cheaper than what a MAC school charges for a bought game.

Ferris State (alma mater of Gary Waters) in Michigan ftw
He basically said, the hell with this after he realized there was no protection from the oline. He declared medical retirement only to seek a pro career in Europe later on.
Didn't he try to play lacrosse somewhere else first or am I thinking of someone else? I know that Laviano closed out his career that way.
Some words used to mean something. Maybe even, most words used to mean something. But the words "Mid-America Conference" never meant anything. Not with 11 of its 12 members in the Eastern Time Zone.
