UMass has a board there as well. Mostly football posts but as you know our main board is UMassHoops.com

Mr. Steve, thus far, only the affiliation for our new women's ice hockey program has been announced - College Hockey America. https://bluehens.com/news/2024/3/26/coomey-named-inaugural-ice-hockey-head-coach Nothing yet on the other non-CUSA affiliated sports (i.e., field hockey, men’s soccer, men's...

Have any of you heard on your affiliate sports. Asked several months ago and people were not to concerned. Know UMass applied to keep men's lacrosse and women's rowing in the A10. The league will vote on the application next month. Men's soccer is waiting on the MAC and the indications are there wil...

Think it's a bit better to post here about speculation for the men's soccer team. If the MAC pulls 3 teams from the MVC, they will be down to 6 teams. Think MVC will allow Missouri State to keep their soccer program there. So UMass folks missed out on playing you guys regular, but we do want is best...

Curious if you guys are considering the MAC for Men's soccer. Perhaps Missouri State also puts their teams there. https://csnbbs.com/thread-987325-post-19507579.html#pid19507579 RPI Soccer and click on conference MVC and noting 3 MAC teams are present and Akron is in the Big East. https://www.ncaa.c...

Bluewyn Gold, Think the move for CUSA to take us in, probably changed the picture. Again, glad you guys made the move and do think your eyes are on the American. Best wishes and do hope we play down the road. Very happy the MAC took us in without #14. Lots of thanks to you and CUSA for that movement...

A couple of final thoughts about the UMass move to the MAC and how it relates to UD. According to a report from writer Matt Brown, UD’s decision to join CUSA was not AT ALL incumbent on UM’s potential decision to eventually join. UD would have been happy to have UM join them in CUSA, but it wasn’t ...

Good luck with MACation, Mr. Steven. Here's hoping UD and UMass get to renewal our old football rivalry in the not-too-distant future. My wife and I always enjoyed our many autumn trips to beautiful Pioneer Valley over the years. Thanks guys and hope to have you guys on the schedule after we clear ...

FYI: Today at 11 am. https://twitter.com/UMassAthletics/status/1764807984377405462 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GH3bgQmX0AAhU7z?format=jpg&name=small UMass Athletics : https://t.co/82BUS9Rkly ESPN+ : https://t.co/92KKNJd78B YouTube : https://t.co/j0hpXctkqe Very excited to join MACtion, the confe...

Have asked this question before, perhaps it the same answer, UMass has already applied for affiliation for Men's Lacrosse and Women's rowing in the A10. The MAC had men's soccer until 2022 and Akron 6-8 years ago won the Natty in soccer. We'd be the 5th team with men's soccer. So your affiliation fo...

From an UMass perspective and with the stuff that was on The Fan 92.3. Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher said the talks with UMass did not begin until late fall. https://twitter.com/923TheFan/status/1763558332940554703 Perhaps UMass Athletics did not receive the green light for all sports until Army dec...

Did you guys sign the CUSA GOR?
Seems like Carribean Man has implied no on page 2 with a Joe fan credibility rating of slim to none.

UMass is their only lacrosse school on the men's side. I don't think their athletic programs are in a strong enough financial spot to add lax. If a few other schools added it, it's possible the league could sponsor with a chunk of affiliations but my hunch is UMass will likely keep lax in the A-10 ...

UMass to the MAC makes sense geography for sure. Good luck to our old conference foes. The Minutemen not having to fill a 12 game schedule as an independent will free up other eastern seaboard schools to consider home-home contracts with the Hens. Sounds good but will take time as we clear our indy...

My hope if UMass makes the move, UMass can leave it's Lacrosse, men's soccer, swimming & diving in the A10. Has it been decide on where your other sports will be, CAA, still being worked out, or some other league? Our other sports are not wanted in the CAA. Maybe we move ours to the A10, and jo...
