UMass Punching Bag

It's easy to be critical of UMass football. With a record of 19-75 since their decision to switch to Division 1 in 2012, it has been a total disaster with wins and losses.

UMass gets a lot of criticism for playing tough opponents for money. When they get slaughtered by Northwestern this Saturday, they will earn $1.2 million.

In 2020, the will get $1.9 million to lose to Auburn. These payments help pay for the program. As a state school, they need to stay focused on taxpayer dollars in their budget.

Private schools can do it differently.
