Other Notes

UMass must play 4 games (2 home, 2 away) against opponents from the Mid-American Conference (MAC), due to UMass Football's arrangement with the MAC.¹⁷⁾
With the 16-member Atlantic 10 Conference, the conference is changing their scheduling. A 16-game schedule remains, but the number of home-and-home series will drop from three to one. In 2012-13, UMass will face Rhode Island as the home-and-home opponent.
This will be the first season in the A-10 for both VCU and Butler. Both accelerated their plans to join the league, moving up from the 2013-14 season to 2012-13.¹⁸⁾¹⁹⁾ VCU joins from the CAA, and Butler from the Horizon League.
This will be the last season in the A-10 for both Temple (moving to Big East)²⁰⁾ and Charlotte (moving to Conference USA)²¹⁾.
The annual meeting with Boston College has ended.²²⁾²³⁾²⁴⁾
