March 01, 2010 | Football
Ball State's game at Buffalo Fri., Nov. 12, is scheduled for a 6 p.m. kickoff on ESPNU.
The 2010 season will also once again feature a six-week, over-the-air syndication package in September and October produced and distributed by ESPN Regional Television. The six games, which can also be seen on ESPN Game Plan and ESPN360.com, will be announced in June.
The regular season will conclude with the 13th Marathon MAC Football Championship game on Friday, Dec. 3 at Ford Field in Detroit on ESPN2. This will mark the seventh Marathon MAC Football Championship game at Ford Field, home of the Detroit Lions, Super Bowl XL, and the 2009 NCAA Men's Final Four.
Most of the television exposure will occur in November when 10 mid-week league games will be televised by ESPN2, ESPNU or ESPN360.com as the conference race unfolds in each division.
For the third year in a row, league schools will face a formidable non-conference slate of opponents from the following Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly I-A) conferences - ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, PAC 10 and SEC. In addition, the conference will also face each independent-Notre Dame, Navy and Army, as well as Boise State from the Western Athletic Conference. A total of 11 of the schools' non-league games will feature an opponent from the Big Ten, and the MAC will match up with a foe from the SEC (3), Big 12 (3), ACC (3), Big East (4), PAC 10 (1) and WAC (2).
