In a few short hours, you’ll be ringing in the beginning of the new year, but it’s time now to look back on the year that was in MACtion. 2017 was quite the year in the larger sports landscape, and really the world at large, and the MAC wasn’t immune to its share of headlines, highlights, and takeaways.
There was the usual attention to football, capped by a bowl season that ended up being less than ideal. There was the belabored conversation about basketball funding and importance to the conference in general. There were talks of expansion, contraction, and general funding conversations about the MAC’s place at the table for college athletics as a whole.
