Predictions from Athlon. It sounds like Memphis and USF are just about a sure thing next round.

The MAC Becomes a 14-Team League
UMass will join the MAC next year (2025) to bring the MAC membership to 13 teams. Even if the conference prefers all-sports members, the MAC eventually grows by one with a football-only deal with UConn.
And if UConn isn't the right fit, perhaps a FCS team (maybe Illinois State?) fits as the No. 14 member.
Translation ... if UConn football isn't worthy / good enough for the MAC they would look for more viable FCS options.
Non Key.
This is all rampant speculation
