UNLV @ NIU (9/5) is the only MAC home game set so far. Fiami is also at WKU (9/26). The MAC TBD dates are Thursday 10/29, Thursday 11/5, Saturday 11/7, Saturday 11/21 and Friday 11/27. We're not scheduled for any of those dates.

10/29: either WMU@EMU or Buffalo@Fiami

11/7: either EMU@Fiami or Akron@UMass
11/21: either Fiami@UMass or Buffalo@Akron

I'm amazed the Marshall game, Miami or WMU games weren't picked up. Did they look to see what teams draw?
Buffalo at Akron will look great on National TV. EMU at Miami? What a joke.

No worries - they've had plenty of practice keeping the camera angles down on punts and word has it that MAC officials will be giving very generous third down spots during these game.

you have to remember that these are games CBSSN bought off of ESPN, so ESPN got to pick and chose which games they allowed CBSSN to take from them. Here is a list of the bottom half of the MAC in terms of winning percentage over the past 5 years-

.419 (t) CMU
.419 (t) WMU
.367 Buffalo
.323 Miami
.233 EMU
.217 Akron
.139 UMass

It is not a coincidence that 11/12 games ESPN allowed CBSSN to buy are games where both participants are on the list above.
