The Conference explored returning postseason tournaments that were paused for the 2020-21 academic year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“At my direction, I asked our Championship staff to create models of how we could return our postseason events,” said MAC Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher. “Conference tournaments are pinnacle events that provide lifetime memories for those involved. I am pleased we are able to reinstate these events for the student-athletes.”
