In 2019 the only teams with non conference openings in aac are: (home/away listed from umass prospective)

Houston: Home or Away
Memphis: Away
SMU: Home
Tulane: Home.. although I doubt we would see them again before we play there
UCF: Home or Away
USF: Away.. doubt this one too.

I guess If we could get guarantee of 4 games every year that would help, 6 ideal for 2020.

It said that they should fire Whipple because he will be getting a pension from the state.

I can't recall exactly, but he had a 2 division AAC for all sports with us, UConn, Temple and 5 others in the same division.

I'm pretty sure that this is what the guy from CT said, I built the "new AAC" in a build your own conference thing. I'm pretty sure that this link should take you to that particular conference with the exact teams he mentioned.
Unfortunately, again, I'm not to tech savvy so it may not have worked.

i'm not sure that I get the point of this author's time spent, but Bloomberg has many readers:

Think giving the CUSA example is piss poor. The CUSA 10M is now the Sunbelt plus a few left over programs is 2.8M

Here is a point of view on UMASS, contrasting with UAB. Max Page, of course, is quoted. Chicago Tribune.

Here we go. Buckle up boys, Max is on his yearly rampage.

He calls every media outlet in the country looking to spew his story.
