Mid-American Conference football teams will take the field this fall following the MAC Council of Presidents’ unanimous vote today to reverse their decision to postpone the football season. MAC teams will take the field this fall.
The council decided in August to play the season in the spring. The MAC was the first FBS conference to postpone fall sports, and it is now the last to announce it will play football this semester.
“Our decisions, in August and again today, have been guided by an overriding concern for the well-being of the student-athletes, institutions and the community at large,” MAC Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher said in the official press release.
