Sporting News learned that the Mid-American Conference will conduct its Football Media Day at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, from July 25-26 this summer.
Full details on the event are expected later, but it’s a good play by the conference building off the momentum from last season. MAC champion Western Michigan enjoyed an undefeated regular season and earned the New Year’s Day Six bid in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic.

The MAC held its Football Media Day at Ford Field in Detroit in recent seasons, but that facility is undergoing renovations this summer.
This move comes at a fitting time. Former Akron defensive end Jason Taylor will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August.
