From 1907 through 2011, the University of Massachusetts did not field an FBS football program. Now we are seeing why they didn’t bother. Since returning to the FBS level in 2012, UMass has flopped on the field and at the gate. Boston fans are pro sports fanatics. What little time they have for college sports belongs to teams that can win. UMass is not close to being such a College Football odds team. Walt Bell is the third coach to blow up his career as the Massachusetts coach. Alex Miller carries the interim tag the rest of this season.
