Akron, Kent State, Central Michigan take home Mid-American Conference institutional awards

They say nothing good ever happens in Cleveland, but for the winners of the Mid-American Conference's institutional awards, I'd say they are singing a different tune today. The Akron Zips, the Kent State Golden Flashes, and the Central Michigan Chippewas all walked out of Wednesday's Honors Dinner with some sizable hardware like the Reese Trophy, the Jacoby Trophy, and the Institutional Sportsmanship Award respectively. It's a tremendous honor for all involved, as it is basically the big three of awards that a member institution can win. For the Reese and Jacoby Trophies, points are awarded based on each school's finish, with the overall total divided by the number of sports sponsored by each school.
