THE MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE

2 2017 MAC Football Record Book

THIS IS THE MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE

Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Conference has progressively grown and developed into one of the most aggressive Division I conferences in the coun-try. One of only 10 football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in March of 2009.

The league hosts championships in 23 sports, including neutral site events at some of the finest facilities in the nation – football (Ford Field, Detroit), men’s and women’s basketball (Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland), softball (Firestone Stadi-um, Akron) and baseball (Sprenger Stadium, Avon, Ohio). The MAC secured a four-year contract extension with Ford Field to host the MAC Football Championship Game through the 2019 football season, anchored a six-year contract extension for the MAC Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments at Quicken Loans Arena through the 2023 season, and stabilized a five-year contract extension through the 2020 season for the MAC Baseball Tournament at Sprenger Stadium in Avon, Ohio.

In addition to growing its commitment to MAC championships, Steinbrecher has strategically positioned the MAC’s participation in hosting NCAA events and cham-

pionships. The MAC recently served as the host for the 2015 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Midwest Regional at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland and will also serve as host of the 2018 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships and the 2020 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament First and Second Rounds, also at Quicken Loans Arena. The MAC has previously hosted both the 2012 and 2014 NCAA Women’s Bowling Championships, and will also host the 2019 NCAA Women’s Bowling Championships under Steinbrecher’s direction.

In the summer of 2014, the MAC and ESPN announced a historic 13-year rights extension deal through the 2026-27 season for expanded national television and digital distribution. This is the largest and most extensive agreement in the history of the Conference and brings long-term security for the MAC through the 2026-27 academic year.

ESPN has exclusive television and digital distribution rights for all MAC sporting events, and guarantees coverage of every football game, and select men’s and women’s basketball and Olympic sporting events. The MAC and ESPN will establish on-campus production capabilities that will provide a significant increase in the national coverage of baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, wrestling and Olympic sports on ESPN3. This will open up nearly 92 million households from ESPN3 for exposure to MAC sports for the first time in Conference history. Through this ESPN partnership, the MAC and CBS Sports Network announced a four-year sublicensing agreement to expand its national coverage of football and basketball through 2018-19.

For the second time in Mid-American Conference history a member institution will be playing in one of the prestigious New Year’s Six Bowl Games, as MAC Champion Western Michigan will face Wisconsin in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic on Jan. 2 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

During the 2016 season, the MAC witnessed six members accept bowl invitations. Western Michigan (Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic, Arlington, Texas), Ohio (Dollar General Bowl, Mobile, Ala.), Toledo (Raycom Media Camellia Bowl, Montgomery, Ala.), Central Michigan (Miami Beach Bowl, Miami, Fla.), Miami (St. Petersburg Bowl, St. Petersburg, Fla.) and Eastern Michigan (Popeyes Bahamas Bowl, Nassau, Bahamas) represented the MAC in bowl games during the 2016 bowl season.

The six bowl invitations are one shy of the MAC single-season record of seven bowl invitations during the 2012 and 2016 bowl seasons. This also marks the ninth time in MAC history to have five or more programs receive a bowl invitation (2004, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016) in a single-season. In the pre-vious six bowl seasons, the MAC has a record of 11-24 in 35 bowl games – 2016 (0-6); 2015 (3-4); 2014 (2-3); 2013 (0-5); 2012 (2-5); 2011 (4-1).

In December of 2016, Western Michigan head coach P.J. Fleck was named MAC Head Coach of the Year, Broncos WR Corey Davis as the MAC Offensive Player of the Year and KR Darius Phillips was named MAC Special Teams Player of the Year. Also receiving accolades, Ohio DE Tarell Basham earned MAC Defensive Player of the Year, while Bobcats S Javon Hagan was named MAC Freshman of the Year. Western Michigan senior QB Zach Terrell was named the league’s Vern Smith Leadership Award winner and was also named the winner of the 2016 William V. Campbell Trophy by the National Football Foundation as the best football scholar athlete in the nation.

In December of 2013, former Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch finished third overall in the Heisman Trophy voting, the highest ever finish by a MAC student. Lynch was invited to the Heisman Trophy Award ceremony in New York City and became only the third MAC student-athlete to receive an invitation to the ceremony – Marshall QB Chad Pennington (1999) and Marshall WR Randy Moss (1997).

During the 2017 NFL Draft, Western Michigan wide receiver Corey Davis was the fifth overall selection by the Tennessee Titans. Davis’ selection was the highest ever for the Broncos program and tied the second-highest ever draft selection by a student from the MAC. It also marked the third MAC football student selected in the top five of the NFL draft over the last five seasons. In the 2014 NFL Draft, Buffalo Bulls linebacker Khalil Mack was the fifth overall selection by the Oakland Raiders. Mack’s selection was the highest-ever for the Buffalo program and the second highest ever selection for a MAC student. In the 2013 NFL Draft, Central Michigan offensive tackle Eric Fisher was selected as the first overall selection by the Kansas City Chiefs, making Fisher the first-ever football player from the MAC selected first overall in the NFL Draft.

In 2012, the MAC witnessed a record setting seven teams receive bowl invitations, including the first ever BCS Bowl invitation with Northern Illinois

playing in the Discover Orange Bowl on Jan. 1, 2013. The MAC also had four football programs ranked in the top 25 of national polls – Northern Illinois, Kent State, Toledo and Ohio—as the BCS Standings had two MAC programs in the Top 25 at the end of the regular season with No. 15 Northern Illinois and No. 25 Kent State. The MAC also set a conference record for the most wins against FBS opponents with 16 victories.

In the fall of 2013, the MAC announced the creation of newly created bowl games in Boca Raton, Fla., Nassau, Bahamas, and Montgomery, Ala. for a six-year period (2014-2019). The creation of the Marmot Boca Raton and Bahamas Bowls were the centerpiece of a joint agreement between several FBS conferences and will be supported by several FBS conferences on a six-year rotating basis.

The Marmot Boca Raton Bowl will be owned and operated by ESPN and will be played at FAU Stadium, an open air stadium which seats nearly 30,000 fans on the campus of Florida Atlantic University. The Bahamas Bowl will be played at Thomas A. Robinson Stadium. The Raycom Camellia Bowl, based in Montgomery, Ala., is owned and operated by ESPN and will be played in the Cramton Bowl, a 25,000 seat stadium.

Each football season the MAC has a minimum five guaranteed bowl opportunities. The MAC has long-term primary contracts with the Dollar General Bowl (based in Mobile, Ala.) through the 2017 season and Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (based in Boise, Ida.) through the 2019 season.

During the 2016 football season, Western Michigan won the 2016 Marathon MAC Football Championship Game with a 29-23 win over Ohio on Dec. 2. The win was Western Michigan’s first championship since 1988 and the second football title in program history. Western Michigan entered the bowl season ranked No. 12 in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll and No. 14 in the Amway/USA Today Coaches Poll. The No. 12 AP ranking was the highest in the MAC since Ball State was ranked No. 12 on Nov. 30, 2008 after a 12-0 start. Western Michigan lost a 24-16 decision to No. 8 Wisconsin in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic on Jan. 2. Western Michigan ended the season ranked No. 15 in the AP Poll with a 13-1 record. The Broncos were also ranked No. 15 in the sixth and final College Football Playoff ranking on Dec. 4. Western Michigan was bowl eligible for the third straight year. Western Michigan’s 13-0 mark after the Marathon MAC Football Championship was the first for the MAC since former member Marshall finished the 1999 season with a 13-0 record and a No. 10 ranking in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll.

During Western Michigan’s historic 2016 season, ESPN’s College Game Day, college football’s longest-running and most-celebrated pregame show, came to the campus of Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo on Nov. 19 for the No. 14-ranked Broncos home game vs. Buffalo on ESPNU. This marked only the second time in MAC history for ESPN College GameDay to visit a MAC campus. The previous visit came in 2003 with Northern Illinois at Bowling Green.

Western Michigan wide receiver Corey Davis posted his third straight 1,400-yard season as he finished 2016 with a career-high 97 catches for 1,500 yards and 19 touchdowns, which led all FBS in receiving touchdowns. Davis is the all-time leading FBS receiver in history with 5,285 yards in four sea-sons and is the first receiver in FBS history with four seasons of 900+ yards. Davis ended 2016 as the all-time leading receiver in FBS history with 5,285 yards. He ended his college career with 332 receptions for 5,285 and 52 touchdowns. He is the only player in FBS history with 300 catches, 5,000+ yards and 50+ TDs. All are MAC records.

Davis earned the title of NCAA Consensus All-American after being named to the first team in three of the five official organizations used to determine the honor. Davis becomes the first player in Western Michigan history and the first from the MAC since Dri Archer of Kent State in 2012 to earn the honor and the eighth league selection in MAC history.

Davis earned Consensus All-American status after receiving first team All-America honors from the Associated Press, American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and Football Writers Association of America (FWAA). He was named Second-Team All-American from the Sporting News and the Walter Camp Football Foundation, the other two official organizations in the pool. In addition, Toledo tight end Michael Roberts was named First Team All-American by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA), while Western Michigan offensive tackle Taylor Moton was named Second Team by the FWAA and AFCA.

Four MAC students were named 2016 First-Team Academic All-Americans as selected by the College of Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Representing the MAC as First-Team All-Americans were Kent State senior linebacker Nick Cuthbert, Bowling Green junior punter Joseph Davidson, Akron junior safety Zach Guiser and Western Michigan senior quarterback Zach Terrell. Also, Akron senior safety James Turner was named Second Team All-American. The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame named 30 MAC students as members of the 2017 Hampshire Honor Society, which recognizes college football players that maintained a 3.20 GPA or better throughout their college career.

The MAC had 11 draft selections in the 2017 NFL Draft to tie a MAC modern era (seven rounds) record for the most students drafted in an NFL Draft (2005 NFL Draft). The 11 selections in the 2017 NFL Draft – WR Corey Davis (Western Michigan) by Tennessee (1st Round, 5th overall); OL Taylor Moton (Western Michigan) by Carolina (2nd Round, 64th overall); DE Tarell Basham (Ohio) by Indianapolis (3rd Round, 80th overall); RB Kareem Hunt (Toledo) by Kansas City (3rd Round, 86th overall); WR Kenny Golladay (Northern Illinois) by Detroit (3rd Round, 96th overall); TE Michael Roberts (Toledo) by Detroit (4th Round, 127th overall); LB Blair Brown (Ohio) by Jacksonville (5th Round, 148th overall); DT Treyvon Hester (Toledo) by Oakland (7th Round, 244th overall); LB Keion Adams (Western Michigan) by Pittsburgh (7th Round, 248th overall); DL Pat O’Connor (Eastern Michigan) by Detroit (7th Round, 250th overall); and TE Mason Schreck (Buffalo) by Cincinnati (7th Round, 251st overall).

The MAC also witnessed former Akron Zips defensive lineman Jason Taylor named as a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2017. Taylor, who spent 13 of his 15 seasons in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins, will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on August 5, 2017 in Canton, Ohio. Taylor is the first Zips player elected to the Hall of Fame and only the second in the history of the Mid-American Conference, joining former Kent State linebacker Jack Lambert of the Pittsburgh Steelers. A third-round pick out of Akron in the 1997 NFL draft, Taylor ended his career in 2011 as the Miami Dolphins’ all-time leader in sacks and forced fumbles. A six-time Pro Bowl selection and three-time AP All-Pro first-team choice, Taylor was named the 2006 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and was selected as the Walter Payton Man of the Year in 2007.

THE MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE

MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE COMMISSIONER, Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher

Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher enters his ninth year with the Mid-American Conference (MAC) after being named the league’s eighth commissioner on March 16, 2009.

Steinbrecher has expanded bowl oppor-tunities for the Conference and stabilized membership, increased television expo-sure with a historic national television and digital distribution rights deal with ESPN, renegotiated a marketing rights agreement with IMG College, spearhead-ed a $50,000 donation to the Bahamas Red Cross for relief efforts from Hurricane

Matthew, which was matched by The Atlantis, and guided a messag-ing program to define the MACtion brand.

Steinbrecher orchestrated the development of the first of its kind Conference-wide Mental Health Program, which includes a bi-annu-al Mental Health Summit to focus on student well-being, specifically with interactive discussion topics in mental health ranging from identifying problems, discussing solutions and highlighting best practices, along with grassroots efforts with a Mental Health Aware-ness Week on each member campus.

He also established a Conference-wide comprehensive Diversity & Inclusion Program to accelerate the growth of minority candidates for collegiate job opportunities in coaching and administration. His leadership on the issue of inclusion and diversity includes the devel-opment of an internship and mentoring program, bi-annual sum-mit, resource website and annual recognition platform.

Steinbrecher also created the MAC Academic Consortium, which integrates across Conference membership the next generation of leaders in higher education, providing leadership development op-portunities among faculty and administration.

Steinbrecher played an integral role in the development of the Col-lege Football Playoff and serves on the Administrative Executive Committee and the Site Selection Committee. Steinbrecher led the MAC bid to host the 2015 NCAA Men’s Basketball Midwest Regional, and the MAC will host the 2018 NCAA Wrestling Championships and 2020 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament First and Second Rounds at Quicken Loans Arena.

He also developed and implemented a MAC new Coaches Orien-tation program. He was recently appointed to the newly formed NCAA Football Oversight Committee, NCAA Football Competition Committee and the NCAA Transfer Working Group.

In 2014, Steinbrecher announced a historic 13-year rights extension agreement with ESPN through the 2026-27 season and brings long-term security for the Conference. This agreement provides ESPN

with exclusive television and digital distribu-tion rights for all MAC sporting events, guaran-tees coverage of home football and men’s bas-ketball games, and select wom-en’s basketball and Olympic sporting events.

In addition, the MAC and its member institutions, with assistance from ESPN, have established on-campus production capabilities that provide a significant increase in the national coverage of base-ball, softball, soccer, volleyball, wrestling and Olympic sports on ESPN3. In June of 2015, the MAC announced a four-year sub-licens-ing agreement with CBS Sports Network to expand its national ex-posure in football and basketball.

During his tenure, the MAC has witnessed historic achievements in the overall growth of MAC football. Over the last six seasons every MAC football program has appeared in a bowl game and during the last five seasons the MAC has twice set the Conference single-sea-son bowl record with seven programs receiving a bowl invitation in both the 2012 and 2015 bowl seasons.

In 2016, the MAC received its first invitation to the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas as Western Michi-gan earned its first-ever New Year’s Six Bowl invitation.

Last season, Steinbrecher had six different MAC programs receive bowl invitations -- Western Michigan (Goodyear Cotton Bowl Clas-sic), Ohio (Dollar General Bowl), Toledo (Raycom Media Camellia Bowl), Eastern Michigan (Popeyes Bahamas Bowl), Central Michigan (Miami Beach Bowl) and Miami (St. Petersburg Bowl) represent-ed the MAC the 2016 bowl season.

Also, the MAC became the first non-AQ conference in the BCS era to have two teams vying for a BCS berth in the same year without an undefeated season. In 2012, both Northern Illinois and Kent State entered the Mar-athon MAC Football Cham-pionship Game with 11-1 records and ranked within the BCS Top 25.

In January of 2013, Steinbrecher witnessed Northern Illinois par-ticipate in the first ever BCS bowl berth by a MAC member with an invitation to the Discover Orange Bowl and during the 2012 bowl season, the MAC set a Conference record with seven teams to re-ceive a bowl invitation.

Steinbrecher orchestrated the creation of three new bowl games in 2014 – the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl (Montgomery, Ala.), the Ba-hamas Bowl (Nassau, Bahamas) and the Marmot Boca Raton Bowl (Boca Raton, Fla.).

Steinbrecher has built the MAC primary bowl agreements to a con-ference-best five guaranteed bowl games (Dollar General Bowl; Fa-mous Idaho Potato Bowl; Raycom Media Camellia Bowl; Bahamas Bowl and Marmot Boca Raton Bowl) and three additional secondary agreements (Detroit-based Quick Lane Bowl, Frisco Bowl in Frisco, Texas and ESPN owned bowl games such as the Birmingham Bowl and St. Petersburg Bowl).

These bowl agreements provide the MAC the opportunity to build on relationships with multiple bowl partners, expand national tele-vision exposure and broaden geographical opportunities to per-form against peer FBS conferences.

Steinbrecher directed a strategic plan-ning process for the MAC, increased na-tional expo-sure for the conference, as well as new op-portunities for the conference in the areas of a new regional television network deal, marketing and sponsorships and securing long-term partnerships for MAC neutral site championship events.

Steinbrecher launched the first-ever MAC Digital Network in 2011 and re-launched the MAC Digital Network with a new partnership with SIDEARM. The Digital Network provides the conference with a new website, enhanced live streaming and programming, mobile platforms via the iPhone, iPad and Android.

In 2011, Steinbrecher also negotiated a new marketing agree-ment with ISP for the conference marketing and sponsorship rights through 2019. ISP merged with IMG and this long-term deal solidi-fied the conference marketing partnership with the new IMG Col-lege brand.

Steinbrecher negotiated a four-year contract extension with Ford Field as the site to host the MAC Football Championship Game through the 2019 season. He secured a six-year contract extension with Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena to host the MAC Men’s and Women’s Basketball Conference Tournament through 2023. The contract extension guarantees the continuation of the conference tournament at the same neutral site since 2000. In addition, Stein-brecher also signed a five-year contract extension for the MAC Base-ball Tournament to be played at Sprenger Stadium in Avon, Ohio through the 2020 season.

He joined the MAC after serving six years as commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC). Prior to the OVC, Steinbrecher served for nine years as the commissioner of the Mid-Continent Conference (the Summit League). He is the only person to serve as commission-er in all three NCAA Division I Subdivisions (FBS, FCS, DI).

In six years with the OVC, Steinbrecher significantly increased the league’s exposure through additional television coverage at the re-gional and national level. In 2005, he negotiated a five-year contract with ESPN that secured increased exposure for the league. That in-cluded being the first conference to sign a deal to have games ap-pear on ESPNU; the OVC had the first sporting event telecast on that network (the 2005 OVC Men’s Basketball Tournament Semifinals).

Steinbrecher secured an invitation for the OVC to participate in ESPN’s BracketBusters event. He also implemented conference mer-chandising and corporate partnership program and in 2008 negoti-ated a five-year agreement with IMG College to manage the OVC’s multimedia rights and sponsorship sales.

In July 2006, Steinbrecher helped spearhead a venture into stream-ing video with the launch of OVCSports.TV. The multimedia platform provided live and on-demand coverage of OVC football and men’s and women’s basketball games as well as select other sports, coach-es’ shows, press conferences and special events.

Under his leadership, the OVC strengthened its commitment to sportsmanship by implementing a series of good sports initiatives,

including sportsmanship affidavits signed by coaches and adminis-trators, student-athlete ethical conduct orientation and an institu-tional and team sportsmanship awards. Steinbrecher also initiated a Conference Basketball Issues Committee and oversaw increased promotional efforts for the OVC Basketball Tournament, which re-sulted in an increase in ticket revenue. He also spearheaded the ef-forts in bidding for, and ultimately securing, the 2014 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Final Four for Nashville.

Prior to being named Mid-Continent Conference Commissioner in Nov. 1994, Dr. Steinbrecher had previously served the league as Di-rector of Communications, Director of Marketing and Communica-tions and Assistant Commissioner. He joined the Mid-Con staff in 1989 after previously serving in the athletics departments at Hous-ton Baptist University, Indiana University and Davidson College.

Steinbrecher has served on numerous NCAA committees, including the Division I Basketball Issues Committee, serving as a member of subcommittees for both men’s and women’s basketball, and in 1999 he became the first non-Division I-A commissioner elected as presi-dent of the Collegiate Commissioner’s Association (CCA). In June 2007, he was appointed to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Aca-demic Enhancement Group by the late NCAA President Myles Brand. He has served on the NCAA Division I Legislative Council, the NCAA Championship Cabinet, the NCAA Committee on Athletics Certifica-tion and the NCAA Men’s Basketball Issues Committee.

Steinbrecher is currently Chair of the College Football Officiating Board of Managers and serves on the NCAA Football Oversight Com-mittee, NCAA Football Competition Committee and NCAA Transfer Working Group.

Steinbrecher has also served as Division I-AAA vice president of the CCA and as a member of the National Invitation Tournament’s Dis-trict IV Advisory Board. He was the first non-FBS commissioner to serve as President of the CCA from 1997-99.

Steinbrecher is a 1983 graduate of Valparaiso University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in physical education and jour-nalism. In 2006, he was bestowed an Alumni Achievement Award from his alma mater and in 2014 was inducted into the Valparaiso University Athletics Hall of Fame. Steinbrecher graduated with a master’s degree in sports admin-istration from Ohio University in 1984, and he was awarded the doctorate of physical education in sports administration from Indi-ana University in 1989.

An all-conference and academic all-conference selection in football and a conference champion in tennis, Steinbrecher was named Val-paraiso’s and the Heartland Collegiate Conference’s Student-Athlete of the Year in 1983. In 2006, he was inducted into the Watauga Coun-ty (N.C.) Sports Hall of Fame.

Steinbrecher and his wife Anne have three children, daughter Grace and twin sons Matt and Will.

Steinbrecher follows Rick Chryst, who served as MAC Commission-er (1999-2009). David Reese served as the first commissioner from 1946-64, followed by Bob James (1964-71), Fred Jacoby (1971-82), Jim Lessig (1982-90), Karl Benson (1990-94), Jerry Ippoliti (1994-99).

FORMER MAC LB MACK NAMED NFL DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEARFormer University at Buffalo linebacker Khalil Mack was named the 2016 National Football League Defensive Player of the Year. Mack, a defensive end for the Oakland Raiders, received the award at the NFL Honors in Houston on the eve of Super Bowl LI.

Mack, who just completed his third year in the NFL, earned his second consecutive trip to the Pro Bowl after another stellar season. He had 73 tackles and 11 sacks on the season. He added five forced fumbles and had an interception (returned for a touchdown). Mack already has 30 sacks over his three-year career, including 26 over the last two seasons.

Mack was selected by the Raiders fifth overall in the 2014 NFL Draft af-ter a standout career with the Bulls. Mack, the 2013 Mid-American Con-ference Defensive Player of the Year and Jack Lambert Award winner, finished his career holding the NCAA career record for tackles for loss (75) and forced fumbles (16).

FORMER MAC JASON TAYLOR NAMED TO PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAMEFormer Akron Zips defensive lineman Jason Taylor was announced as a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2017. Taylor, who spent 13 of his 15 seasons in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins was an-nounced as a member of the 2017 Hall of Fame Class.

Joining Taylor as the Class of 2017 includes kicker Morten Andersen; running back Terrell Davis; safety Kenny Easley; owner, president and general manager Jerry Jones; running back LaDainian Tomlinson; and quarterback Kurt Warner.

Taylor is the first Zips player elected to the Hall of Fame and only the second in the history of the Mid-American Conference, joining former Kent State linebacker Jack Lambert of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Taylor was selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. The 2017 Hall of Fame induction ceremonies will take place Saturday, Aug. 5 in Canton, Ohio.

A third-round pick out of Akron in the 1997 NFL draft, Taylor ended his career in 2011 as the Miami Dolphins’ all-time leader in sacks and forced fumbles. A six-time Pro Bowl selection and three-time AP All-Pro first-team choice, Taylor was named the 2006 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and was selected as the Walter Payton Man of the Year in 2007.

MAC TIES DRAFT RECORD WITH 11 SELECTIONS IN 2017 NFL DRAFTThe MAC had 11 draft selections in the 2017 NFL Draft to tie a MAC modern era (seven rounds) record for the most students drafted in an NFL Draft (2005 NFL Draft). Highlighting the 2017 NFL Draft was West-ern Michigan wide receiver Corey Davis selected as the fifth overall se-lection in the first round by the Tennessee Titans. Davis’ selection marks the third time in the last five years to have a MAC student selected in the top five overall of the first round.

In 2014, Buffalo Bulls linebacker Khalil Mack was the fifth overall selec-tion by the Oakland Raiders in the 2014 NFL Draft. Mack’s selection was the highest ever for the Buffalo program and the second-highest ever selection for a MAC student-athlete.

In 2013, Central Michigan offensive tackle Eric Fisher became the first MAC football player to be selected as the overall No. 1 selection in the NFL Draft. The Kansas City Chiefs selected Fisher as No.1 choice in the 2013 NFL Draft. The previous highest player drafted from the MAC was Marshall quarterback Byron Leftwich, who was selected No. 7 overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars, in the 2003 NFL Draft.

HERB DEROMEDI NAMED TO CFP SELECTION COMMITTEEHerb Deromedi, the winningest football coach in MAC and Central Michigan history, was named to the College Football Playoff Selection Committee in January of 2016. Deromedi, the first member with MAC ties, will serve a three-year term on the 13-member committee that ranks the top 25 teams and deter-mines the matchups for the four-team football playoff and the host bowls. Deromedi was selected by members of the College Football Playoff Management Committee, which is made up of all 10 FBS com-missioners and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick. Deromedi, who was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 2007, started at Central Michigan in 1967 as an assistant coach under Roy Kramer. He succeeded Kramer as head coach in 1978 and compiled a 110-55-10 record, including 90 MAC victories. His teams earned three MAC titles and beat Michigan State in 1991 and 1992. Deromedi is also a member of the Central Michigan Athletic Hall of Fame (2000), the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame (2004) and the MAC Hall of Fame (2012). He left coaching after the 1993 season to become the director of athlet-ics at Central Michigan for 12 years, and he previously served on the NCAA Football Issues Committee and is a former chair of the NCAA Football Rules Committee. His tenure was highlighted by an extensive upgrade of the campus’s athletic facilities, 34 MAC championships and eight MAC Institutional Academic Achievement Awards in nine years.

ALLSTATE GOOD WORKS TEAM NOMINATES TWO MAC STUDENTSThe Allstate Insurance Company and the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) today announced 146 nominees for the 2017 All-state AFCA Good Works Team®, one of the most prestigious off-the-field honors in college football.

MAC 2017 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE HIGHLIGHTSThe 2017 football schedule will feature 22 nationally televised games during late October and November on ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN3 and CBS Sports Network as the conference race unfolds in both the East and West divisions.

The regular season will conclude with the 21st Marathon MAC Football Championship game on Saturday, Dec. 2nd at a time to be determined from Ford Field in Detroit. This will mark the 14th Marathon MAC Foot-ball Championship game at Ford Field, home of the Detroit Lions, Super Bowl XL, and the 2009 NCAA Men’s Final Four. For the 10th year in a row, league schools will face a formidable non-conference slate of opponents from the following Football Bowl Subdi-vision conferences – ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC and Notre Dame. In addition, the Conference will also face opponents from the American Athletic Conference, Conference USA, Mountain West Conference, Sun Belt Conference and Independent Army.

Last year’s MAC champion Western Michigan was ranked No. 15 in the final Associated Press Top 25 Poll. MAC programs will face six non-con-ference foes that finished in the final AP Top 25 poll: Clemson (1), USC (3), Penn State (7), Miami (20), Louisville (21) and San Diego State (25).

A total of nine non-conference games will feature a Big Ten opponent (Illinois; Michigan State (2); Minnesota; Nebraska; Northwestern; Penn State; Purdue; Rutgers). The MAC will face foes from the ACC (6—Boston College (2), Clemson, Louisville, Miami, Syracuse), SEC (1—Kentucky), Pac-12 (1-USC), Big 12 (3—Iowa State; Kansas (2)); and Independent Notre Dame and Army (2).

The MAC will also face opponents from the American Athletic Confer-ence (2— Cincinnati, Tulsa), Mountain West (2—Nevada, San Diego State), Conference USA (7—Charlotte, Florida Atlantic, Marshall (2), Middle Tennessee, UAB, Western Kentucky) and Sun Belt Conference (2—Idaho, Troy). This season the MAC will host nine games against FBS non-conference opponents. MAC & ESPN 13-YEAR RIGHTS EXTENSION THROUGH 2026-27 SEASONThe MAC and ESPN announced in 2013 a 13-year rights agreement that is the largest and most extensive agreement in the 70-year history of the Conference. The extension, which adds provisions to the remaining three years of the original national rights agreement and adds an addi-tional 10 years to the deal with ESPN, brings long-term security for the Conference through the 2026-27 academic year.

This agreement provides ESPN with exclusive television and digital distribution rights for all MAC sporting events, and guarantees cover-age of every football game, and select men’s and women’s basketball and Olympic sporting events through the 2026-27 academic season. The Marathon MAC Football Championship Game and the MAC football regular season is the foundation for the national deal with ESPN.

MAC AND CBS SPORTS NETWORK REACH MULTI-YEAR DEALIn 2015, the MAC and CBS Sports Network announced a multi-year deal to televise college football and basketball games from the Mid-Amer-ican Conference. The deal, which begins this season and continues through 2018-19, is through a sublicense agreement with ESPN.

CBS Sports Network will air up to 12 football and 12 basketball games per year, with the first year calling for six football games and up to seven basketball games. In 2015, the six football games will include two Thursday and three Saturday games, as well as one game on the Friday after Thanksgiving. CBS Sports Network, the 24-hour home of CBS Sports, is available across the country through local cable, video and telco providers and via satellite on DirecTV Channel 221 and Dish Network Channel 158.

VERN SMITH LEADERSHIP AWARD

Each year since 1987, the Mid-American Conference’s top football player has been presented with with the Vern Smith Leadership Award. The award, initiated by the Downtown Athletic Club of Toledo in 1987, re-named after former University of Toledo Athletics Director Vern Smith in 1987, was originally started in 1982 by the Downtown Athletic Club of Toledo as the Jefferson Award.

The winner of the Vern Smith Leadership Award is selected from a pool of one nominee from each school. Each nominee is placed on a ballot to be voted on by the head coaches.

Western Michigan senior quarterback Zach Terrell was voted as the winner of the 35th Vern Smith Leadership Award for the 2016 season as voted by the Conference head coaches.

A native of Fort Wayne, Ind., Terrell was a three-time Academic All-MAC selection, a three-time MAC Distinguished Scholar-Athlete and was the winner of the 2016 William V. Campbell Trophy, given annually to the nation’s best football scholar-athlete.

Terrell is Western Michigan’s all-time leader in career completion percentage. In 2016 Terrell led the Broncos to a 13-0 regular season, including the team’s first New Year’s Six bowl berth at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl on Jan. 2, 2017 in a 24-16 loss to No. 8 Wisconsin. Terrell saw the Broncos win their first Mid-American Championship since 1988 when they defeated Ohio on Dec. 2, 2016.

In his career, Terrell led Western Michian to three consecutive bowl berths, including the first bowl victory in school history at the 2015 Bahamas Bowl. Boasting the top two single-season completion percentages in Western Michigan history, he owns the record for most career passing yards in WMU history with 12,104 yards. He is second in passing touchdowns (96).

MAC Championship Football Game History

The Mid-American Conference will hold its 15th football championship game at the site of Ford Field in downtown Detroit – a premiere sports venue that hosted the 2006 Super Bowl and 2009 Men’s Basketball Final Four. The MAC has long been associated with the Detroit area and played in the first ever college football game at Ford Field as Toledo faced Boston College in the 2003 Motor City Bowl. This year’s event will be played Friday, December 2 at 7:00 pm ET and marks the eighth year of a neutral site championship game for the MAC.

Getsy was named East Division Player of the Game after completing 30-of-50 passes for 413 yards and one touchdown. Hixon finished the game with 8 receptions for 144 yards and the game-winning touch-down. NIU junior running back Garrett Wolfe finished the game with a MAC championship game record 270 rushing yards. Wolfe topped Toledo’s Chester Taylor, who rushed for 188 yards in 2001. In addition, Wolfe rushed for more yards than anyone has in a Division I conference championship game. Only two other running backs have topped the 200-yard mark as Kansas State’s Darren Sproles rushed for 235 yards against Oklahoma in the 2003 Big 12 championship game and LSU’s Justin Vincent rushed for 201 yards against Georgia in the 2003 SEC championship. Wolfe was named West Division Player of the Game for his outstanding performance.

Akron senior nose guard Kiki Gonzalez made a key play when he blocked a 49-yard Chris Nendick field goal attempt with 4:42 to go in the first quarter. The block set up a 3-yard rushing touchdown by freshman running back Dennis Kennedy that gave the Zips an early 10-0 lead.

Down 24-10 at the start of the fourth quarter, Akron’s game winning drive started with 1:41 and covered 81 yards. It marked the seventh time in nine championship games that the margin has been decided by eight points or less.

2007 Game Recap – Central Michigan 35, Miami 10 (ESPN)

Central Michigan captured its second consecutive MAC Championship game with a solid 35-10 triumph over Miami. Led by Dan LeFevour’s 170 rushing yards and 185 passing yards, the Chippewas put the game away with three fourth-quarter touchdowns.

The Chippewas averaged 6.1 yards per rush, the best ground performance in MAC Championship Game history. Four of the five CMU touchdowns came via the ground with two of those from outside the red zone (21 and 28 yards, both by LeFevour).

The RedHawk defense was sturdy, allowing just seven first-half points to the league’s top scoring offense. The Miami offense, however, never got into the end zone until mid way through the fourth quarter.

The CMU defense had eight tackles for a loss and held Miami to just 52 net rushing yards on 25 attempts.

LeFevour was named CMU’s MVP while Miami LB Clayton Mullins nabeed honors for the RedHawks. Mullins was credited with 14 tackles, one shy of the championship game record.

LeFevour became the second quarterback to win back-to-back MAC Championships (Chad Pennington, Marshall – 1997-99).

MAC CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES

2010 Game Recap – Miami 26, Northern Illinois 21 (ESPN2)Austin Boucher threw a touchdown pass to Armand Robinson with 33 seconds left and Miami (Ohio) won the Mid-American Conference championship with a 26-21 victory over No. 24 Northern Illinois on Friday night.

The RedHawks (8-4) won the MAC for the first time since 2003 and their conference-best 15th title overall a season after they finished 1-11.

Boucher, a freshman making his third start of the season, finished the game 29 for 46 for 333 yards. The decisive touchdown came six plays after the RedHawks forced Northern Illinois to punt from its end zone.

The Huskies drove past midfield in the closing seconds, but the RedHawks’ sideline emptied after Chandler Harnish was sacked as time expired. Harnish threw three touchdowns for the Huskies (10-3), who had won eight in a row.

Trailing 14-13 at halftime, Miami went on top early in the half when Thomas Mer-riweather scored the second of his two touchdowns rushing. The Redhawks reached the Huskies’ 1-yard line after recovering a fumble but came up empty when a fake field-goal failed.

Willie Clark caught a 39-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the fourth quarter to give Northern Illinois a lead that lasted until the final minute.

The RedHawks got the game’s first touchdown when Merriweather ran in from a yard out but the kick was blocked by Mike Krause. The Huskies answered with a 69-yard TD catch by Martel Moore.

Miami retook the lead with Tracy Woods’ 7-yard touchdown late in the first but fell behind minutes later when Moore caught a 27-yard score from Harnish.

Robinson tied a Miami record with 14 catches for 176 yards and Merriweather ended the night with 85 yards on 11 carries.

Huskies tailback Chad Spann, the MAC’s rushing leader, finished with 54 yards on 17 tries. Moore had 110 yards on four catches.

2011 Game Recap – Northern Illinois 23, Ohio 20 (ESPN2)Mathew Sims kicked a 33-yard field goal on the final play to cap a furious comeback that gave Northern Illinois a 23-20 victory over Ohio in the Mid-American Conference title game Friday. The win marked the first time the Huskies have won the MAC title since 1983.

Ohio opened the scoring following interceptions on the first drive’s for both teams. Following a Noah Keller interception off Chandler Harnish, Matt Weller knocked a 30-yard field goal to give the Bobcats an early 3-0 advantage. The Bobcats extended their lead to 10-0 with some trickery. With backup quarterback Phil Bates lined up as a receiver, Tettleton took the snap and flipped it to LaVon Brazill. Brazill then reversed it to Bates who found Donte Foster for the easy 24-yard touchdown.

Matt Weller opened the Bobcats lead to 13-0 with his second field goal of the game, from 21 yards out. The key play of the drive was a long 19 yard run by Donte Harden to give the Bobcats a first-and-goal at the NIU 5 yard line and set up the eventual Weller field goal.

Off a turnover, Ohio marched right down the field and following a 16 yard completion to Mario Dovell, Tettleton capped off yet another drive. With pressure coming from the right end, Tettleton scrambled up the middle bouncing off defenders and diving into the endzone with 2:35 remaining to open up a 20-0 halftime lead.

Chandler Harnish finally got the Huskies on the scoreboard with 6:19 remaining in the third quarter, capped off by a 39 yard touchdown strike from Harnish to Nathan Palmer for a 20-7 deficit. Halfway through the fourth quarter, Harnish found wide receiver Martel Moore inside the five yard line. Moore was able to spin off a defender and lunge into the end zone to cut into the Bobcat lead. A missed extra point by Sims kept it a 20-13 game.

Palmer was on the receiving end of his second touchdown pass from Harnish with 2:52 left in the game. Harnish orchestrated a 6 play, 1:44 drive that allowed Sims to even the score with the extra point at 20-20.

A three-and-out by the Bobcats gave the ball back to Harnish and the Huskies with 1:18 left at their own 36. On the first play, Harnish found Perez Ashford for 27 yards along the sideline. Harnish then found Moore across the middle for 15 yards getting the Huskies into field goal range. After Hopkins rushed the ball to the middle of the hashes, Mathew Sims kick curled just inside the left upright and gave the Huskies the 23-20 victory. The Huskies 20 point comeback is the largest in MAC Championship history since 1999, when Marshall came back from 23 down in the third quarter. Game Summary

2016 Game Recap – (13/14) Western Michigan 29, Ohio 23 (ESPN2)DETROIT (AP) — Robert Spillane intercepted a pass with 51 seconds remaining, and No. 13 Western Michigan remained undefeated, holding off Ohio 29-23 on Friday night to win its first Mid-American Conference title since 1988.

The Broncos (13-0, No. 17 CFP) led 23-7 at halftime, but Ohio rallied and had the ball in WMU territory in the final minute when Spillane intercepted Greg Windham’s pass over the middle. Spillane immediately took a knee at his own 30, then was mobbed by his teammates as a Ford Field crowd full of Broncos fans roared.

Ohio (9-4) never led and didn’t do much on offense until the final quarter, but the Bobcats still came achingly close to their first MAC championship since 1968.

Instead, WMU became the first undefeated team to win the MAC title game since Marshall in 1999.

Western Michigan’s Corey Davis had eight catches for 144 yards, Including a 70-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter. Butch Hampton kicked five field goals, the last a 34-yarder that gave the Broncos a 29-23 lead with 1:24 remaining.

Davis was named the game’s Offense MVP while Hampton was the Special Teams MVP. Hampton’s five field goals set a new MAC championship record.

A Marathon MAC Football Championship Game attendance record was set with 45,615 in attendance at Ford Field.
