UMass 2006 football schedule released

UMass has released the 2006 UMass football schedule . This is fairly early release for UMass. Often the Athletic Dept waits until late spring to divulge the schedule.

Each year an A10 team plays all the teams in its division and then adds three teams from the other division.

This year UMass rotates from playing Delaware, Richmond and JMU into a South Division schedule of Villanova, Towson and William & Mary.

Oops! Matt Vautour reports in todays (01/11/05) Hampshire Gazette, that the Athletic Dept reversed the first two games on the 2006 football schedule in yesterday's press release. The corrected schedule is below.

The 2006 Schedule:
  • 09/02/06 Colgate (NCAA playoff team in 2005)
  • 09/09/06 @Navy (national TV on CSTV)
  • 09/16/06 @Villanova
  • 09/23/06 Off
  • 09/30/06 AIC (Div II)
  • 10/07/06 William & Mary
