The MId-American Conference #5 Tyler Jones
The MId-American Conference #5 Tyler Jones Senior Carlos Medlock was named an All-MAC selection each of his three seasons. Providing leadership in education and in diversity, the Mid-American Conference moves into its 62nd year of service to the studentathlete. Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Conference has progressively grown and developed into one of the most aggressive Division I conferences in the country. Under the guidance of Commissioner Rick Chryst, the seventh commissioner in the history of the league, the MAC has responded to the ever changing landscape of membership issues and member standards in the fast-paced environment of collegiate athletics. The league has grown its commitment to championships by expanding to six neutral site post season events – football (Detroit’s Ford Field), volleyball (Toledo’s SeaGate Centre), men’s and women’s basketball (Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena), softball (Akron’s Firestone Stadium) and most recently baseball (Chillicothe’s VA Memorial Stadium). MAC football produced three bowl teams in 2007, the giving the MAC 14 bowl berths in the past four years with 10 different league institutions represented during that time. The 2007 season also welcomed the addition of Temple University to the East Division and the Owls responded with a league-leading defense and a 4-4 conference mark in their inaugural MAC season. A total of nine MAC football players were selected in the 2008 NFL draft, making it the second most selectees for the league since the NFL went to seven rounds in 1994. In its partnership with ESPN, the worldwide leader in sports, an unprecedented 25 football games involving MAC schools will be televised in 2008. That number includes regular season and post season events on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN Classic and ESPN360. In addition, an eight-game MAC Game of the Week will be syndicated on ESPN Plus and available on over-the-air network affiliates to more than 22 millions homes in the Midwest. Four Mid-American Conference men’s basketball programs went on to postseason play this season as Kent State (NCAA Tournament), Akron (National Invitation Tournament), Miami (College Basketball Invitational) and Ohio (College Basketball Invitational) all made an appearance in postseason tournaments. There were a total of two women’s basketball programs that reached the postseason as Miami (NCAA Tournament) and Bowling Green (Women’s NIT) represented the MAC in postseason play. Kent State men’s basketball program was ranked in the top 25 in the regular season for the first time in school history. The Golden Flashes were 23rd in the Associated Press poll and 24th in the ESPN/USA Today coaches’ poll, both of which were released on February 25th.The Flashes earned their 10th consecutive 20-win season in addition to picking up the 1,000th victory in the 92-year history of the program. The last time the MAC had a team appear in the top 25 during the regular season was in 2001 when Ball State was ranked for four straight weeks (Nov. 26-Dec. 17), with the Cardinals climbing as high as 15th in the AP poll on Dec. 3. The Golden Flashes also made headlines in men’s golf this past season as KSU finished alone in sixth place at the NCAA Championship to earn the highest finish in the program’s storied history. MAC wrestlers also continued to shine on the national stage as Central Michigan senior 197-pounder Wynn Michalak finished runner-up at the NCAA Wrestling Championships and the Chippewas finished tied for seventh in the overall team competition.

The MAC also cohosted the 2007 Women’s Final Four at Quicken Loans Arena, after successfully hosting a 2006 NCAA Women’s Basketball Regional at Quicken Loans Arena. In 2006, Chryst also announced a five-year partnership with ISP Sports, Inc. to oversee and coordinate the league’s marketing and sponsorship rights. ISP, which currently manages more than 40 college properties nationwide, is considered the leader in the collegiate sports marketing industry. The MAC was ISP’s first conference property. ISP is responsible for managing and growing the MAC’s stable of corporate partners, which currently includes FirstEnergy, Kraft, Marathon Oil, GMAC Financial Services, Gatorade, Automart.com and Sirius Satellite Radio. FirstEnergy has been the title sponsor for the men’s basketball tournament since its first year in Cleveland in March 2000, Kraft has been associated with the women’s basketball tournament since 2001, and Marathon Oil will be sponsoring the football championship for the fourth time in 2008.
