MUNCIE, Indiana – Football is coming back this fall in the Mid-American Conference.
The league's Council of Presidents, on the recommendation of the Medical Advisory Panel, voted unanimously Friday to resume the season with a six-game, conference-only schedule beginning Wednesday, Nov. 4. The season was postponed in August because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The complete MAC schedule will be announced at a later date. The league plans to play the MAC Football Championship game Dec. 18 or 19.
"The pandemic has caused many challenges for our students, including our student-athletes. But I am gratified that our student-athletes who play football will be able to resume practice and competition this Fall," said Geoffrey S.
