The MWC will hold a championship game on December 19. The reinstatement of play reverses the conference's decision on August 10 to push the football season into Spring 2021. The MWC was the second conference to announce it would postpone play, following a decision by the MAC.
Through it's website, the MWC promised full details Friday morning. Even without specifics, the reaction from member institutions suggested they are more than ready for the resumption of play.
