“ The University of Massachusetts athletics department announced Thursday that it will institute significant cost containment measures by instituting a reduction in work hours and/or furloughs for 57 athletic department staff members.” https://umassathletics.com/news/2020/9/17/athletics-department-m...

Who’s gonna be left to play? Mountain West Conference (for now), Old Dominion, New Mexico State, UConn (if they decide to renege on their promise not to play spring ball). I really can’t see UMass spring ball happening this academic year, though that can change at any time, because 2020. Onto 2021.

Suppose the Big Ten has a shortened fall football season. What does that leave UMass in terms of scheduling for spring football? PAC-12, MAC, Mountain West, ODU, New Mexico State, and any FCS schools that wind up playing spring ball. I doubt there will be any pay-for-play games, and if there are, it...

I don’t think you’ll get much information from the office. I’m sure, however, they will be more than happy to take some kind of voluntary deposit on season tickets.

The University of Alaska Anchorage is disbanding men’s hockey after the 2020-2021 academic year.

UConn is currently not planning on playing in the spring. UMass could potentially play New Mexico, New Mexico State, Akron, and Albany in the spring as they are not playing this fall. I don’t know if any of the Power Two teams would have UMass for a non-conference game. Even if they did I can’t see ...

Although I hope UMass scraps something together in the spring, it’ll be difficult to do. If there is conference-only football in the spring, it’s definitely a no-go. In all likelihood we are looking at a Fall 2021 start.

I hope they play in the spring, even if it’s a reduced schedule.... but I don’t think it will happen.

UMass officially cancels fall football. See you in 2021.

I think a better word would be "postpones". My understanding is that they will try to play in the spring. It will be strange, but scheduling might be easier.

That why I wrote FALL football.

It appears that hotel stays before games are mostly verboten this season, except for UVM and UMO.

With the amount of money UMass dumped into football, I don’t see them walking away from that investment unless something really bad happens. With a projected 15% shortfall in FY21, my guess is that some programs are on the chopping block. Baseball is probably first on that list. Maybe one or two oth...
