ESPN Renew Mid-American Conference Deal

August 25, 2014

The Mid-American Conference has signed a 10-year extension with ESPN through the 2026-27 academic year.

It is the largest and most extensive agreement in the 68-year history of the conference. It also adds provisions to the remaining three years of the existing agreement.

“This is a historic day for the Mid-American Conference, view ” said MAC Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher. “ESPN and the MAC have a long history together and were visionary in embracing mid-week football which continues to be a significant presence on the ESPN college football calendar.  The length of this partnership brings long term stability for the Conference well into the next decade.”
