CLEVELAND, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) -- The Mid-American Conference announced today, Nov. 10, revised kick times for two games scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 12. The Eastern Michigan at Akron contest will begin at 6 p.m. ET on ESPNews, while the Western Michigan at Ohio will kickoff at 6:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2.
The decision to move Tuesday's games was made by the MAC in collaboration with national television partner ESPN and each program's director of athletics. Forecasts call for potential heavy snow and temperatures in the low teens with single-digit wind chills.
"I would like to thank ESPN for making this happen," said MAC Commissioner Dr. Jon Steinbrecher. "With the potential for extreme weather, the opportunity to move these two games up seemed the appropriate action."
MAC Midweek football continues this week with two games on Tuesday, Nov. 12, two games on Wednesday, Nov. 13, and one contest Thursday, Nov. 14.
