After much anticipation this week, the MAC has announced a plan for football to return on Nov. 4 for a six-game schedule.
Each team will play the five other teams within their respective divisions and have one crossover game with a team from the opposite division. A championship game will be played on Dec. 18 or 19.
Forty-eight days ago, the MAC became the first Division I FBS conference to announce that they would be postponing all fall sports to the spring. Conferences such as the Mountain West, Big Ten and Pac-12 soon followed.
But the other power five conferences wouldn’t budge, and instead went forward with plans to play college football.
