Friday--August 5th, 2016

UMass announces a TV package with American Sports Network.

This is very good news for UMass football. If I remember right, the Minutemen only appeared on "MACtion" once during the 2015 schedule. This package should give UMass some national exposure. There's probably not much money involved, but it's a lot more coverage than the MAC provided. ASN's Wikipedia page.

Michael Traini has a post on TV package.

Good work by AD Ryan Bamford and his staff.
