Such a strange time to me...why take away from the excitement of the last week of basketball with the football schedule.. this news either should have come out last week or wait until after MAC Tournament.

CMU has the worst home schedule I can recall in about 20 years! Only 5 home games, one being fcs rhode island, and 3/5 home games on weeknights, and one of them is day after thanksgiving03-nutkick

Not one November MAC game on a Saturday. Usually there are a few.

WMU-CMU on a Wednesday... 03-no

Yeah, let's put KSU-Akron Thanksgiving week so we don't have to bother with all those pesky students being around. Great idea. I guess it's better than the year they put it at 11:00 Black Friday morning in bad weather. I guess.

Last year it was the first MAC game ... homecoming atmosphere ... great time/weather ....

Only the MAC does this kind of crap ...

Why not release the schedule April 1 ... right around spring FB time. That makes more sense ... Oh... forgot ... it's the MAC...

They have to have something to peddle to their alumni base as the basketball season is winding down.

So everyone has a crappy schedule this year? NIU has 2 Saturday home games. Are we still happy with the "exposure" we get from being on TV? Not sure our fanbase, what's left of it, will survive this.

Fanbase? You mean you and me? Feels like it sometimes...

#MACtion sucks! I feel everyone's pain here. This is ridiculous. Toledo only plays about 4 or 5 total games on Saturdays.

How can a league be so clueless as to how this TV deal has negatively affected every single member of the MAC?

We're down to 2 this year. The BC game is now on Friday. So we have Kent State for homecoming and Eastern Illinois on Saturday. Yaaay. Next year I suppose we'll be down to 1.
