UMass Football News--February 23rd, 2026

 Hustle Belt has what's good and bad about Sacramento State joining the MAC

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The President of Sacramento State has a "X" post on what FBS brings to the University.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

The Toledo Blade has a story on what teams should be considered for future MAC expansion. 

There are some interesting names in the article: UConn and Liberty are powerhouse athletic programs. South Dakota State has a flood of Permian Basin oil money. Western Kentucky has a basketball program all UMass fans could envy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Speaking of UConn, they just released their 2026 football schedule. 

Something called the the UConn round table has what reads like a AI-written post on UConn's schedule and calls UMass an FCS team..

 The Huskies 2026 schedule is significantly stronger than 2025. I think UConn's win total will drop sharply this year.
