great question.... like you, I always want to see the schedule several weeks before they get around to announcing it... A few schools have announced their schedule here is what I have learned so far...about the zips schedule Xavier will be playing an exhibition at Cub Cadet Field on August 15 (I think that is 7 weeks from tomorrow??) https://goxavier.com/news/2021/6/16/mens-soccer-announces-fall-schedule.aspx in a truly epic matchup, the mighty Indiana Hoosiers will be playing a regular season match up against our beloved zips at Cub Cadet field on Friday September 10th. https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2021/6/22/mens-soccer-indiana-mens-soccer-announces-2021-schedule.aspx new conference member Georgia Southern will play at Akron on October 7th https://gseagles.com/news/2021/6/18/mens-soccer-announces-2021-schedule.aspx as of yesterday, I could not find any other MAC schools that had released their schedules speaking of releases,, I would also love to see an announcement about the incoming new players. Hopefully, the zips have some international freshmen...that we are not yet aware of.

This is a very astute point. I have numerous friends and co-workers that will watch ANYTHING as long as involves a football. Why? They are addicted to the sport and will place bets on the first quarter score. They have zero rooting interest, don't care if a single person is in the stadium, and will gladly watch on a Tuesday evening to help them make it through the week to watch "real" football (P5 and NFL) on the weekend. That's what the MAC has become: week day filler for football and gambling addicts.

I'm here to help Clark. Sentence 1: Out of curiosity because I have no clue what the answers to these questions are: Who was the commissioner? How much longer was this person commissioner after this decision? How many commissioners have there been since? How many athletic directors from that era are still employed by their university? Sentence 2: I don't think for a second the athletic directors didn't consider any of this. I think they knew exactly what would happen. Anyone with half a brain could see what was going to happen. They did it to pad their resumes. Sentence 3: They don't believe this. Most tend to have advanced degrees, but that is dubious because an advanced degree can be obtained in the 21st Century by applying for a Masters program on line and paying the tuition. The next thing you know you have a diploma hanging on the wall. Let's assume for a second they are smart people. The evidence is overwhelming that the weeknight games are horrible for the schools. They have to understand this. They simply don't care. Their "dream jobs" are not working as a MAC level athletic director and if moving beyond that involves destroying the schools they work at, they will gladly do it and laugh their way to their next job.
