Announced by MAC commish during media day address. Said that 2/3rds of the mid-week games will start no later than 7:30, with some starting earlier. Small consolation to those who hate mid-week games, but it will make it a tad easier for people to attend/watch.
Also announced CBS Sports will cover a lot more games this year, including the MBB tourney semi-finals and the WBB tourney championship game.
Here's a link to the story on the CBSN/ ASN/ BCSN/ TWC games. Most matchups still TBD:

Some other misc things:
Said MAC will experiment with tablets for the refs on the field to help with instant replay and to be able to correct other game management issues. Said B1G is doing something similar and some other conferences will use centralized off-site officials to assist with replay.
Came out in support of an early signing period for FB and said that is being considered by the NCAA football governing council (whatever that is called) as we speak.
Came out for restrictions on (but not elimination of) satellite camps.
Said the MAC student athelete advisory committees has recommended a number of changes to help reduce time demand placed on student athletes by the sports. Said those have been submitted to the MAC ADs who are considering them for implementation, by August.
