I love these matchups! 1 MAC team, and 3 Sun Belt teams. It’s great that they’re playing those Sun Belt teams, since they used to be a former member of the Sun Belt.
I agree with you, Jacob. These are four great series for MTSU to schedule. These are all quality opponents for them.
Isn’t @KevinKelleyFB a graduate of 1 of these Universities?
I think it’s in his Bio on this Website.
The Culinary Institute of America doesn’t field a football team. ;)
