Report: UMass to Join Mid-American Conference; Notre Dame, UConn Last 2 Independents

UMass will rejoin the Mid-American Conference in all sports in 2025, per Action Network's Brett McMurphy.

UMass' football program is currently independent while its primary conference is the Atlantic 10. Its football team was in the MAC from 2012 to 2015 but became independent beginning in the 2016 season.

With UMass joining a conference in 2025, Notre Dame and UConn will be the last remaining independent football teams, though one or both could be inclined to join a conference in the future as the college football landscape continues to change.

This article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis.
