The Mid-American Conference will induct its 2015 MAC Hall of Fame Class on Wednesday, May 27th during the MAC Honor’s Dinner at the Cleveland Renaissance Hotel.

“The Mid-American Conference Hall of Fame is a testament to the achievements of those that have competed and served in this great Conference,” added Steinbrecher.
