NCAAF College Football News, Photos, Stats, Scores, Schedule & Videos… Feb. 11—*** I have covered a college football game at Detroit’s Ford Field. One of Ron Zook’s Illinois teams played Western Michigan there one year. It was a lot of fun. But I always figured I would be back someday to cover the Motor City Bowl (or whatever it was called).

They will transition to FBS effective immediately and join the Mountain West Conference in time for the coming season, but won’t be eligible for the Mountain West championship game or College Football Playoff until 2028 (though they are appealing for immediate eligibility).

That was due, in large part, to coach Don Bailey elevating the program to be among the best in the region and state over his storied 45-year career patrolling the sidelines. Who could forget the 1990s when Forest Hills won 101 games over 10 seasons and posted a .820 …
