The rumor I heard is the same that OSH mentioned. SAC admin were allegedly in Cleveland for a Sunday meeting with MAC officials. The source is credible, but they were also clear that there was nothing imminent, or guaranteed by this visit. "Information gathering."

The schedule I put together above is just taking what NIU's '26 opponents were going to be before they left for the MWC.
