Rainy Tuesday News ---- 06/09/09

Ahem, if you type "UMass Football" into Microsoft's new search engine Bing, guess what shows up at the top of the list...

The University of South Alabama is starting a football team this year. They will play FCS/I-AA football for two years (2010 and 2011) and then jump right into I-A football. Despite the fact that they have not played a game, the Jags have games scheduled with Mississippi State, Navy and Kent State.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the first time in a number of years, UMass does not have a recruit in the NY/NJ football classic.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phil Steele will 100+ pages of FCS/I-AA coverage in his Eastern Regional magazine this year (it was in the Western Regional last year). His national publication is due out today.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are very, very few active FCS/I-AA blogs out there. One of the few that is active is the Lehigh Football Nation and that site has a comment on Fordham adding scholarships.
