Mid-American Conference Commissioner Dr. Jon Steinbrecher took some time at Media Day to speak on the State of the Conference. It wasn’t widely broadcast and wasn’t part of the ESPN3 coverage. That doesn’t mean it isn’t something you should watch. Once Dr. Jon gets done with the thank yous, the introductions, and the gladhanding (about the 2:30 mark) it’s actually not a bad way to spend 15 minutes or so. It gives some good perspective on where the conference has come from and more importantly, where the conference is headed. Of particular note is the heavy hand that Dr. Jon reigns with in regard to the shifting landscape of pay for play and the college football playoff. He also went all Ginger Hammer on coaches who may get caught cheating, stating they’d be fired and his one word Popovich-esque answer for whether the power five will break away. It’s worth your time.
