Why would we give UMass - a team barely above D1-AA - a home-and-home?

Honestly, weren't they very recently an FCS team, and they just joined the mighty MAC with the likes of Eastern Michigan? Does that sound like a team deserving of a home-and-home?

A "home-and-home" doesn't sound like a one and done FCS replacement.

It doesn't have to be a one and done to take the place of an FCS team.

As small as they are, Holmoe should demand a 2 home 1 away deal.

Too much travel for a mediocre game.

This is for football, not basketball?

Yes - longer than BYU but only FBS for the last 2 years (2-22 before this year)

If this is true please tell me their 17,000 capacity stadium is not the location

My guess is it would be played somewhere else.
