C-USA commissioner Judy MacLeod and the NFL announced today a four-year contract for a 10-game package of C-USA football games to be televised on NFL Network, per a release earlier today.

Middle Tennessee took an early lead and never looked back, racing away with a 69-53 victory over UTEP. The Blue Raiders out-rebounded the Miners 51-33 and shot 43 percent from the floor, cruising…
