UMass was previously a football-only member from 2012-15 but will now bring all sports to the conference. The move comes after UMass declined to leave the Atlantic 10, where it was a founding member. This decision leaves UConn as the last completely independent FBS program, with Army joining the American Athletic Conference this summer.
