Mid-American Conference reverses course and will play football this fall with a 6-game season beginning Nov. 4

The Mid-American Conference, the first major college football league to postpone its season because of the COVID-19 pandemic, has become the final one to jump back in, making it 10 out of 10 conferences that will play in the fall.

As university presidents in the Big Ten, Pac-12 and Mountain West have done over the last 10 days, MAC leaders on Friday voted to reverse their August decision to kick football to spring and tee it up during its usual season.

Just like the other conferences returning to fall ball, the MAC cited advancements in COVID-19 antigen testing as key to the change of direction.
