“I think [the time obligation change] will be good. It is pretty different from what we have now, the MAC made some big changes on the fly. I think it is good to have the week off when you come back to campus at the beginning of the year to get ready for school and for the start of the semester. It should help out all of the student athletes.”

Hagan said he has seen and heard analysts talk about time restrictions on ESPN before and hopes this will start a trend for other conferences saying, “I would say that other conferences will take note of this.”
