While I can't find it one place, a quick search on Google news revealed that most (if not all) MAC teams released their schedules today.
In case you were wondering, Colorado will now travel to the Glass Bowl in Toledo to replace Miami of Ohio.

The MAC Still Hasn't Figured this "13 Teams" Thing Out
Some of you may recall that the past two years I've done a rundown of college football's top non-conference schedules.
I usually start around this time in March. And lo and behold, there's nothing here! Why?
Well, blame the Mid-American Conference, for starters.
Currently, no one knows when the MAC will have a schedule. Because of the repercussions, I can't really do anything until all the schedules are set. For instance, Colorado almost certainly won't play Miami of Ohio now, so until I know how will replace them how can I make any statements about their schedule? And what if the need for a 12th game causes CU to reschedule on of their other games?
This could get real messy.

"We don't know what exactly is going to happen at this point," Miami assistant AD Pearson said. "Frankly, we're waiting and waiting, as are all the other MAC schools, for the conference schedule to come out so we can get our schedule out there. Until then, we cannot comment."Basically, the MAC is running into a classic problem with round-robin scheduling an odd number of teams, created when Temple joined the league a few years ago. The Wizard of Odds points out that this isn't the first time this has happened. And in the midst of all this, the MAC also hired a new commissioner.

Joe Morgan Apparently Does Not Wear Shoes
Generously transcribed by Will:
Will: q: "how do you tie your shoes, joe?"
Will: "well, i haven't really seen enough of them to say... i mean, there's so many styles of shoes out there... sneakers, pumps, loafs, sandals... i just have to say that i think that if they have shoelaces, they can probably be tied"
In short, it's best just not to agitate Joe Morgan by asking him questions, especially questions about shoes.
