UMass's announcement is allegedly written and ready to go, with "one hurdle" to clear. Unfortunately that hurdle appears to be actually being given an invitation by the MAC. Reportedly it may come down to whether Temple stays in the MAC (in which case we'd get an invite), or gets the offer to join CUSA (presumably to replace teams leaving for the Big East), in which case the MAC would stay at 12 and not invite us. The deadline for Temple leaving is I believe June 1, and the deadline for us announcing our move either June 1st or July 1st, so we may be in a holding pattern for the next 6 weeks.
