A few little things:

MAC Championship Game--Fawcett was ruled out because of the OHSAA playoffs. Other than that, they are hopeful of making a decision before the season starts. Coach Brandon favors a neutral site.

Games with the Big Ten will have instant replay.

There is no decision on who will move to the East. It will be discussed in November. The confrence also seems to have no plans to expand.

The Third Bowl is going poorly. The Indianapolis Bowl sounds like it is crapping out for us (for reasons that pass understanding). Out best hope for now is getting into a bowl when an existing tie-in lacks bowl eligible teams. There is also talk of a Skydome Bowl against the Big East. The article does not mention any bowls abandoning C-USA and moving to us.

Thanks for the information. I actually hope BG moves back to the East. I for one liked being in the East better than the West and I think we are the best fit to move there. It'll probably come down to BG or Ball State is my best guess.

Thanks for the post...Seems like The Ol' MAC is doing ok, but still needs some help, especially with the bowl picture. Where there any reasons why the Indy Bowl is crapping out?

According to Ann Arbor radio station WTKA yesterday, the MAC school would have to approve the use of instant replay before it was used...not sure if the article said that all MAC schools had officially approved it yet...or if each school could choose as they wish??
