Iowa State at Baylor TBA 6 day hold
Kansas State at Oklahoma State TBA 6 day hold

But most of these games are on Saturday when most people can attend. The question here is will the game be at a time when no one will be there or when a few people will be there.

But all those fan bases still have only 6 days to know what time the kickoff is. So it could be an 11am kickoff, an 8pm kickoff or anything in between.


We KNOW its 6 or 7pm. I just don't get why its a big deal not knowing the hour of the kickoff time earlier than 6 days before the game when we already have a 1hr window since this Summer.

What is the attendance at those P5 games? We all know that P5 attendance has declined too, this could be part of it. Just guessing.

Great, 6 pm so no one will be there. Thanks MAC for the wonderful contract!

6 pm is really getting the big national audience excited. Especially the west coast time zone. I hear GDP will drop by 50% this year because everyone is taking off work to watch MACtion.

No game time 6 days before the game lol. Good grief. This really is starting to get comical

Just play the games on weekdays at this point. Really not much difference.

This is what I predicted a few years ago.

Would have been able to do 7. Not 6. Ugh

We've already played on a Sunday this year...

So NIIU, in the central time zone, gets the 6 PM (central) time slot...but Toledo/BGSU, in the eastern time zone, gets the 7 PM (central time zone) time slot? Makes perfect sense...

I get it, TV gets to choose the game they want, but good grief.

I agree its not fan friendly.

My point was that ESPN is not trying to ONLY screw the MAC fanbases...its all of them for the sake of the best few TV match ups and screw the rest of them.
