ESPN3 Selects WMU at Ball State

CLEVELAND - The Mid-American Conference announced on Monday that Western Michigan's game at Ball State on Oct. 13 will stream live on ESPN3, one of two games designated on the platform that day.

The MAC West showdown against Ball State is the fifth game the Broncos will play on ESPN3 this season.  WMU has had all games either televised or streamed nationally thus far in 2012 and holds a 2-1 record in ESPN3 games this year.

WMU also has its annual "Battle for the Cannon" scheduled to air on the platform when the Broncos travel to Central Michigan on Nov. 3.  Western Michigan will host Northern Illinois on Oct. 27 on ESPN Regional.

The kick time for WMU-BSU remains at 3 p.m.  Akron at Ohio at 2 p.m. on Oct. 13 was also added to the schedule as a part of today's announcement.  Due to this designation, the game will not stream on either ballstatesports.com or wmubroncos.com.
