UMass Football News--March 21st, 2024

 The Greenfield Recorder has a post on the financial aspects of the Minutemen's move to the MAC.

Of interest is the TV rights for Group-of-Five leagues. Currently, CUSA has the lowest TV revenue, followed by the MAC, the Sun Belt, the Mountain West and the AAC.

However the MAC's TV deal is by far the oldest, signed in 2014 and has two years to run. MACtion has been a ratings success, so I expect the new TV package to pay a lot more.
