This is good news for UMass and the MAC! I believe this strengthens the conference and the foot print on the East coast.

Now let’s go ahead and add Western Kentucky.

Odd that this rodeo is happening again. Maybe some assurances that ESPN is going to make sure current member $$ shares aren't diluted more. Or maybe UMass is joining with no guarantee of TV revenue sharing until the next TV contract in 2027??

UMass adds nothing but bigger travel budgets with more flights for every sport

Really excited for MAC Hockey!!!
