Matt Brown (Extra Points) believes it is likely that UMass is #12. He is really plugged in with mid-major realignment. I assume it is an all-sports deal.

2-10. The last two thirds of the schedule is brutal.

November is going to be a big month in realignment: I can feel it. First up is the NEC. Down to 7 members (and just 5 full Division 1 members), the league needs to add at least one full time Division 1 member. That is where Chicago State comes in. Although there has been some talk about a provisiona...

Why wouldn't UConn join C-USA or the MAC for football only? Staying indy is a bad option. I've lurked over on the boneyard and I see many posts saying that you guys should schedule 5 or 6 H/H with P4 schools and then a couple G5 schools. Hate to break it to you but that ain't happening . If it actu...

Let me preface by saying I am a UConn fan so I really don't care what you guys do. However, I noticed you do not have a poll for your (Steve's) MAC discussion. I will mention I put a poll on the Boneyard regarding UConn's conference affiliation for football (independent vs. MAC/CUSA football-only). ...

Join CUSA with Delaware. The league is only one step down in basketball from the A-10. Playing smaller schools is a con, but if you are that worried about your football situation, CUSA seems like the least bad option.

1. Our stadium is on campus, remember that? 2. UConn avoided us for years. We won’t have room on our schedule for you. Good luck. 3. The goal is to dominate MAC hoops, not rely on an at-large. 4. We can schedule big home games out of conference like Gonzaga does, but to a smaller degree. St. John’s...

Disclaimer: I am a UConn fan. Now that we have gotten that out of the way: I think UMass joining the MAC for all sports would be a massive mistake. Here are the reasons: 1. At least two of your home games will be on a Tuesday or Wednesday. If you think you have attendance problems now…. 2. UConn wo...

To go along with my previous post, it would not surprise me if a new division was formed above Division 1 with the following conferences: Big 10 SEC ACC Big 12 Big East MW/Pac-12 AAC A-10 Sun Belt MAC CUSA WCC MVC Ivy They could still have a 64-team NCAA tournament with two auto bids per league (reg...

https://sports.yahoo.com/sec-greg-sankey...J52YG7J1kv From the article: "In a few months, the Big Ten and SEC’s relationship has turned from frosty to warm, sparked by the leadership change from Kevin Warren to Petitti in the spring. What the future holds is somewhat unclear, but both Sankey an...

Stay in the Atlantic 10. UMass is a basketball school. With the Pac-12 likely completely disappearing, there will now only be five power conferences in college basketball. The A-10 will compete with the MW, AAC, and WCC for the title of 6th best conference. That will likely mean 2+ bids. The MAC is ...

If SMU and SDSU join the Pac-12, UMass better beg to get into the AAC.

If Army, MW schools, and Texas State stay no, the remaining candidates are

WKU
LaTech
Georgia State
Old Dominion
MTSU
UMass
Buffalo

I understand your frustrations as a UConn fan. One suggestion I might make: play two FCS games every year until you get to the point where you are winning 4-5 games a year and then drop one. Army does it. Yes, you would need 7 wins to get bowl eligible but I don't think that is happening in the nex...
