The Mid-American Conference on Saturday, Aug. 8, 2020, became the first league competing at college footballs highest level to cancel its fall season because of COVID-19 concerns. A person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press the university presidents voted to not play in the fall and consider a spring season.
