The Hampshire Gazette has a story on how UMass is preparing for an uncertain Fall athletic season.

UMass, UConn, Army and Liberty have a "bus league" for football if cost cutting becomes a dire necessary. New Mexico State and BYU are literally out in left field...

FBS Schedules has a post on Liberty adding 13 games to the Flames future schedules.

The Lynchburg News also has a post on the Flames future schedules.

Quote from the Lynchburg News article:

"McCaw said he wants to extend the current eight-year series with UMass and expand on the two-game set Liberty already has with UConn.

“We’re interested in playing UMass and UConn in particular on a regular basis,” McCaw said.

“We continue to be in frequent conversation with them.”
