Agree with both points mentioned, there is little benefit to the MAC to added both UConn and UMass as football only and secondly UConn has almost no interest. If you could get UConn with a scheduling agreement for any unfilled bowls in return, that would be the ticket. It would cost you guys zippo.

Regardless and to everyone's earlier threads on the subject. If the MAC teams wanted to schedule UConn and UMass you could always do so and have. Personally identify with MAC East teams and of course respect Toledo and EMU has generally had very good bb. As stated earlier, wish we could schedule more BB and football together for home and homes with the MAC East and presently only have with Akron. That was a very good game by the ZIPs and fun to watch. Also believe the game was well attended.

Oh, there is one benefit that you'd never acknowledge. Playing teams, which are currently bad, helps make additional MAC teams bowl eligible. Believe that was the case at least once during our brief time with the MAC.
