Ryan Bamford‏Verified account @UMassADBamford FollowingFollowing @UMassADBamford Ryan Bamford Retweeted Curry Hicks Sage I’ll save you the suspense...at Akron, at Harvard and home vs Maine are other three for 13 total. Non-conf schedule with dates coming by week’s end. extra detail: #FightMassachusetts‏ @FightMA247 2h2 hours ago #FightMassachusetts Retweeted Ryan Bamford H+H with Akron was another set that came in conjunction with a football series. The gridiron games start this year as well with #UMass hosting. #Minutemen hoop should host Akron next season or the year after to complete that H+H

No academic powerhouses so I guess we have a chance huh?

It's not their fault. I've said for a long time, the farther south I go, the smarter I get.

I think it is a NCAA rule Aug 1st

Awesome

Initial thought - I'd be in favor of adding UCONN (and even UMASS) for football only, but they need to bring something to us. Guaranteed scheduling of MAC opponents in OOC basketball (both men's and women's) that includes games at MAC sites. Something like 3/year with match-ups dependent upon conference preseason top 3 picks or something along those lines.

Absolutely not. They bring less than zero to the table in football. They would be in the MAC East and every other year we would play them in Storrs and that is a trip that I would never make and a wasted date on the schedule. Bring them in in tandem with UMass and then there is a wasted road trip opportunity every season. You could kiss any regularly scheduled crossover games with Toledo goodbye and probably BG as well because they would probably move them to the West. Potential MAC East Akron Kent Miami Ohio Buffalo UMass UConn Turrible idea.
