Welcome to my world as a UMass fan. In the mid-90's we were a basketball power and won the 1-AA championship in football (1998), but a lack of vision on the university's part and funding by the legislature kept us in 1AA and (almost certainly) away from the millions per year that being in a super-conference will be worth. We finally got a Chancellor and President that recognized how grave a mistake that was, but it appears to be too late.
