MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE RELEASE
CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Mid-American Conference football game between the University of Akron and the University at Buffalo has been postponed indefinitely due to severe weather conditions and area travel restrictions in the Buffalo, N.Y. area. The game was originally scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 19 at 3:30 ET.
"Despite the best efforts of all involved, it is not feasible to play the football game between Akron and Buffalo on Sunday," said MAC Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher. "The game has been postponed indefinitely. The safety of the student-athletes and fans is paramount. We want to be respectful of the efforts of the emergency service personnel in the Buffalo area who are working to assist those in need."
As a result of the postponement, if necessary, the conference will utilize its uneven number of games tiebreaker policy. The policy was created for situations when multiple teams (a) have the same number of losses but different win totals, (b) have a total games played differential of no more than one (1) game, and (c) have played each other at least one time.
A decision regarding rescheduling the contest will be made during the week of Nov. 20-26.
