I oughta do a podcast tomorrow about it, but some last-second thoughts before I leave my desk for the day: -This will make for more meaningful football. -EMU-Wisconsin is the ACC's fault and it shouldn't even be happening. Should be EMU at Marshall -Scheduling NC games is only getting harder

Some news: the MAC is moving to 9-game conference scheduling for football in 2 years
Mid-American Conference to Move to Nine-Game Conference Football Schedule Beginning in 2028

URL: https://bit.ly/4xS0k7L

CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Mid-American Conference announced today that it will move to a nine-game conference football schedule beginning with the 2028 season, providing each member institution with an additional Conference matchup while preserving opportunities for non-conference competition.

 

The decision was approved by the MAC Council of Directors of Athletics as conference scheduling models continue to evolve across the college football landscape.

 

“College football continues to change, and our responsibility is to make thoughtful decisions that position the Mid-American Conference and our institutions for long-term success,” said MAC Commissioner Dr. Jon Steinbrecher. “Moving to a nine-game Conference schedule provides greater Conference exposure for our programs while maintaining flexibility for meaningful non-conference competition.”

 

“Just as importantly, this decision allows us to continue building a schedule that serves our student-athletes, our institutions, and our fans. The MAC has always valued competition, rivalry and opportunity, and this next step reflects those priorities.”

 

Beginning in 2028, each MAC football program will play nine Conference games and three non-conference contests during the regular season. The additional conference game will increase the number of Conference matchups available to fans and television audiences while providing another opportunity for institutions to compete against MAC opponents.

 

The Conference will continue working with its membership to develop the nine-game scheduling model, including future opponent rotations and considerations related to competitive balance, geographic rivalries, travel, and home-game opportunities. The move will also provide additional Conference football inventory as the MAC continues to strengthen its national television and media relationships.
