I have a wedding at 4:30 on West Central. Hoping for a noon kickoff!

A reporter said on twitter that they're waiting for TV to decide kickoff. I imagine that the only TV it would be on would be the MAC game of the week on 13abc, and those are almost always noon games.

Thanks, I hope we don't end up on Thursday night!

I think it would be too late to switch days.

Based on how it usually goes on the schedule, the Ball State-Akron game will be the MAC game of the week at noon. I believe the MAC tries to have every team represented just once in this game (if possible) and BG has already been on and Toledo is on this week.

I would expect the game to end up on ESPNU. Their schedule is pretty fluid from week to week.

Great way to promote the MAC, having empty stadium games on TV! Focus on the marque games, so the casual football fan will start to recognize the atmosphere for big MAC games.

If that's your basis, we might as well not have any MAC games on TV. I thought Ohio was supposed to have sold a gazillion tickets and their stadium had whole sections unfilled last week against Marshall.

That's what you get for following Kit Kat's threads.

Thankfully I don't. I just saw the thread title. That guy has issues.

BGSU is negotiating to get the game picked up by ESPN-HeeHaw.
