When it was announced Sunday that the Central Michigan football team would travel a short distance to Detroit to face Minnesota in the 2015 Quick Lane Bowl, many CMU fans were happy.
The Quick Lane Bowl committee desired to have the Chippewas to come to Ford Field for their last game of the season, and with the help of the Mid-American Conference, CMU's fans got their wish.
Athletics Director Dave Heeke said CMU was "in the conversation" to be sent by the MAC to Boca Raton, San Diego and Idaho as late as early Sunday afternoon.
