The Mid-American Conference has become the first Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conference to postpone college football and the rest of the fall sports slate because of the coronavirus pandemic. The conference’s Council of Presidents voted unanimously to postpone the fall sports season. The conference plans to play the fall sports season in the spring. “Clearly, we are charting a conservative path – and it is one that has been recommended by our medical advisory group. “This decision is in the best interest of all Mid-American Conference student-athletes, athletics departments and university communities,” Dr. Satish K. Tripath, the conference’s Council of Presidents Chair and University at Buffalo president, said in the news release.
