MAC gets love from the 4-letter network
ESPN will be broadcasting three Mid-American Conference football games over the weekend on their ESPN Plus package. The smorgasbord of contests begins at noon on Saturday with Kent St. taking on Akron and Temple taking on Bowling Green. Wyoming will travel to Ohio for a 3 p.m. contest that will also be broadcasted on ESPN Plus. Howard at Eastern Michigan will all also be televised, but this game will be on Comcast local.
Other MAC games that were not deemed worthy enough for television are Central Michigan playing host to North Dakota St. and Ball State traveling to Big XII powerhouse Nebraska. Miami, OH will face Colorado in Boulder, and Northern Illinois will travel to Idaho. Buffalo will open the home portion of its schedule against Baylor, Western Michigan will play host to Central Conneticut St, and Toledo will host Iowa St.
