UMass adds URI to the Minutemen's 2021 season. So with two games yet to add the 2012 season looks like:
09/04 - at Colorado
09/11 - Boston College
09/18 - Eastern Michigan
09/25 - at Coastal Carolina
10/09 - UConn
10/16 - Rhode Island
11/06 - at Liberty
11/13 - Maine
11/20 - at Army
11/27 - at New Mexico State
AD Ryan Bamford relates there was no other FBS teams available. We'll add a Group of Five home game and an away pay game with a Power Five team.
The URI game could be interesting. As I blogged back on February 11th, URI coach Jim Fleming said he would love to play UMass.
One of the FCS games does not count towards bowl eligibility, but with no bowl tie-ins for UMass, it probably does not matter.

Full Press Coverage thinks Isabella would be a good fit for the Vikings.
