The network and the MAC announced Wednesday an agreement that will see CBSSN air league football and basketball contests through the 2018-2019 season. Via a sublicense agreement with ESPN, the broadcasts will begin this fall with CBSSN carrying six football games and seven basketball games during the 2015-2016 season.
In keeping with the MAC's tradition of exciting midweek action, two of the 2015 football games airing on CBS Sports Network will be played on Thursdays, with another the Friday after Thanksgiving. The other three will air on Saturday.
“Today's announcement is another important step in the continued growth of Mid-American Conference television coverage,” said MAC commissioner Dr. Jon Steinbrecher said in a release. “Having CBS Sports Network join us is part of our vision for the growth of live national coverage for our fan base.”
