The Football Bowl Subdivision Conferences, which includes the Mid-American Conference, announced today they have reached an agreement to delay selection of game times for early season games. The decision, which was subject to a June 1 deadline, was made in conjunction with college football's Power 5 and Group of 5 conferences and their broadcast partners, which include CBS Sports, ESPN, Fox Sports and their affiliates. "These kickoff times and network designations will be announced at a later date as we continue to prepare for the college football season," according to a statement. The coronavirus pandemic continues to wreak havoc on sports. Although the University of Akron last week said it intends to have students on campus in the fall, no decision on fall sports has been made. - Akron Beacon Journal

University of Akron president Gary L. Miller said in an interview on WKSU (89.7-FM) the athletics department's looming budget cuts, expected to be announced in total Thursday, will include the loss of teams. Predicting which programs won't be cut proves a lot easier than predicting those that will. In recent weeks, Miller has consistently said he wants UA athletics to maintain its Division I status.

To maintain their membership in the Mid-American Conference, UA has to field teams in football, men's and women's basketball and volleyball. Teams outside of those could be potentially affected. UA, as have other institutions, has been put in a financial bind by the coronavirus pandemic which has affected all of American life. UA has 19 athletic programs, eight men's teams (baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, rifle, soccer and track and field) and 11 women's teams (basketball, cross country, golf, lacrosse, rifle, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field and volleyball). - Akron Beacon Journal
