MAC Adopts Proposals Developed by Students

CLEVELAND– The Mid-American Conference (MAC) has adopted four time obligation proposals developed by the Conference's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) for full implementation by MAC membership by the 2017-18 academic year.

The MAC Council of Presidents voted unanimously to adopt time obligation proposals that were unanimously recommended by the MAC Council of Directors of Athletics. These time obligation proposals originated from the 'White Paper' drafted by the MAC-SAAC this past Spring and reviewed with MAC presidents, directors of athletics, senior administrators and faculty athletic representatives during the recent 2016 MAC Spring Meetings (May 31-June 2) in Cleveland, Ohio, with review and discussion continuing throughout the summer.
