DETROIT — It has been the Summer of George in the Mid-American Conference.
If the league handed out trophies for offseason buzz, Bowling Green would need room in the case.
Eddie George’s hire drew near-universal applause and intrigue — when’s the last time BGSU was front and center in the New York Times sports section? — and he was still the main attraction at MAC media day on Thursday at Ford Field.
He was the guy the cameras tracked, a dozen reporters surrounded, and a national ESPN writer pulled to the side.
That’s what happens when a Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL superstar shows up in a burnt orange suit.
