Hustle Belt has welcome back to the Mid-America Conference, UMass.

HERO Sports predicts UMass will have four wins in 2025 and go 2-6 in the MAC.

A possibly AI-written post by Sports Illustrated looks at how UMass will do in our return to the MAC.
Why I think the story is AI-written is because all the hard information in the story comes from one 247Sports page. You and I know if UMass loaded up on transfers, then there won't be much NIL or scholarship money for freshmen recruits. But an AI does not make the connection between the low ranking on freshman recruiting and the thirty-five transfers.
Also the article concludes UMass COULD get better, or the Minutemen COULD get worse..

SI also has UMass dead last in the post-spring power rankings, behind 0-12 Kent State.

The new-look Pac-12 (now eight) adds Texas State.

Delaware joins Conference USA. I think the Hens and Western Kentucky would be excellent additions to the MAC. Delaware would be the third flagship university (joining UMass and Buffalo) in the MAC and the Hill Toppers have a strong athletic program.
