I guess, if you don't look at revenue, attendance, national championships, and bowl appearances, then yeah the two are about equal.

Both are in G5 conferences, both play in small stadiums, both have titles in 1 sport albeit different ones(UConn-hoops & UMass-football), both serve the same market(Springfield/Hartford) and both make squat compared to the P5.

Am I missing something? I know it hurts your ego but UMass has just about caught up to the falling UConn.


UMASS caught up to the falling UCONN? Sure they have; most likely in the alternate universe you're currently residing in. I'm sure in this bizarro world you're living in, that BC is a multiple time National Champion in football. 01-wingedeagle01-wingedeagle01-wingedeagle

2000 - UConn joins the Big East in football, joining FBS
2012 - UMass joins the MAC in football, joining FBS
2013 - Big East splits UConn joins AAC
2014 - AAC plays final bowl game as a power conference becomes a G5 conference with no playoff bowl tie-in like the MAC.

They play at the same competitive level in all sports now which hasn't happened since 1999. Nothing bizzaro about it. It'll be interesting to see what happens in a decade once the BE split cash is gone and UMass finishes their transition to FBS football.

UConn was a transitional program in 2000 and 2001, moved fully into D1A in 2002, and joined the Big East in football in 2004.
