The MAC is officially back in business for the 2020 college football season.
Sure, it will last only five games for MAC teams but for some of us that enjoy flipping through their televisions on a Tuesday night and finding a live college football game to watch, the MAC’s return fills a football void.
Notre Dame was previously scheduled to play Western Michigan this season before the pandemic wound up forcing the cancellation of that contest.
