The Mid-American Conference (MAC) is a college athletic conference with
a membership base that stretches from Pennsylvania to Illinois. Nine of
the 12 full member schools are in Ohio and Michigan, with single members
also located in Illinois, Indiana and New York. The conference
participates in the NCAA's Division I; for football, it participates in
the top level of NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS; formerly Division
I-A). The MAC is headquarted in the historic Public Square district in
downtown Cleveland, Ohio. The MAC has been referred to as the Conference
of Quarterbacks due to the accomplishments of numerous former players in
the National Football League. The MAC ranks highest among all 11 NCAA
Division I FBS conferences for graduation rates.
In March of 2006, Commissioner Rick Chryst and Cleveland Cavaliers
President Len Komoroski announced that the Mid-American Conference Men’s
and Women’s Basketball Tournaments would remain in Cleveland at Quicken
Loans Arena through 2011. Both tournaments have flourished since moving
to Cleveland in 2000, with the men's semi-finals and championship
regularly drawing large crowds at Quicken Loans Arena (the 2007
semi-final between Akron and Kent State drew a crowd of more than
15,000). The MAC also announced a format change for both tournaments,
bringing all 12 men’s and women’s teams to Cleveland beginning in 2007.
The MAC also co-hosted the 2007 Women’s Final Four at Quicken Loans
Arena, after successfully hosting the 2006 NCAA Women’s Basketball
Regional at Quicken Loans Arena.
