On Saturday morning, the Mid-American Conference announced the postponement of the 2020 fall sports season. The fall sports being affected are men’s and women’s cross-country, field hockey, football, men’s soccer, women’s soccer and women’s volleyball.

The MAC become the first FBS school to cancel college football for the fall.

It has been a rough week for the family, friends, and anyone who listened to Jamie Samuelsen talk about Detroit Sports for the past 25 years as he passed away on Saturday following a long battle with colon cancer.
Since his death, Samuelsen’s co-workers, including his close friend Bob Wojnowski of 97.1 the ticket, have joined thousands of listeners as they have all remembered Jamie for being a great father and husband, and a great person overall.
On Friday, Jamie’s wife Christy McDonald announced on Twitter that a memorial has been set for Tuesday, August 11th at 11 a.m. ET. Christy noted that the event will be small and private but that we can all join them via a live stream.
Christy added that sometime in the future, she will hold a “big public celebration and raise many gimlets in his name.”
