UMass has the press release about the move to the MAC up including video of the entire press conference.
A news search on "UMass football" produced over 400 stories this morning :)
The Boston Globe says Mr. Kraft rose to the occasion.
The Boston Herald has UMass goes deep and move to Gillette boosts big time hopes.
The national media has coverage including USA Today and ESPN.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer says the marriage of UMass and the MAC is a winner----for now.
Matty V. says UMass officials related that the move reflected a sober look at UMass finances.
Matty reports on the potential impact on UMass women's sports.
Chancellor Holub said the upgrade could not have happened if it were not for Gillette.
The news caused a little grinding of the teeth in UConn land (read last paragraph).

I'll have a lot more to say about the move and the future of UMass football in later blog posts. It's been a busy week here at the blog and I have not had time to write much in the way of commentary. Hope to have some thoughts ready to go by tomorrow.
