The Mid-American Conference (MAC) is a college athletic conference that includes teams from various universities in the Midwest. While some may not know much about the MAC, it has produced some notable alumni over the years. However, not all of these alumni are famous for their athletic achievements. In fact, some of them are known for their oddball and sometimes notorious behavior. Here are some of the MAC's most infamous alumni:
Brandi Love – Central Michigan University
Brandi Love is a popular pornstar who attended Central Michigan University as a Chippewa. While it's unclear whether she was studying to become a pornstar at the time, it's safe to say that Mount Pleasant may have played a role in her love for debauchery. Love has since become one of the most popular adult film stars in the world.
Tim Allen- Western Michigan University. Allen attended WMU in the 1970s before dropping out and eventually becoming a successful comedian and actor. However, his success was not without controversy. In 1978, Allen was arrested at Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport for possession of over 650 grams of cocaine. He later pleaded guilty to drug trafficking charges and served two years and four months in federal prison. Despite this setback, Allen was able to revive his career and become a household name with his roles in TV shows like "Home Improvement" and movies like "Toy Story." Really who can blame Santa Clause for wanting to travel with a little bit of snow?
Harvey Weinstein- University at Buffalo.
The former Hollywood film producer who was convicted of a plethora of crimes as well as found a way to make paper thin bedsheet enough to sustain the weight of a fully grown man, briefly attended University at Buffalo in the 1970s. Although he did not graduate from the school, he has been remembered as an infamous alumni due to the numerous allegations of sexual harassment, assault, sex-cults, trafficking, and more.
Fredrick J. Baur- The University of Toledo.
The inventor of the iconic Pringles can, attended the University of Toledo in the 1940s. Legend has it that he came up with the idea for the Pringles can while sitting in a college class, pondering to himself how he can fuck over future generations to come. But here's the real question: why didn't he make the can big enough for human hands to fit in and get every last chip out? We may never know, but we do know that Baur was so proud of his invention that he requested to be buried in a Pringles can. The company granted his wish, and today he rests in peace inside a specially made, Pringles-can-shaped urn.
(Honorable Mention)
Steve Harvey is a comedian, television host, and author, best known for his blunt and often quick witted humor. Before becoming a household name, Harvey attended Kent State University in Ohio. He was a member of the university's Omega Psi Phi fraternity and was also a boxer for the Golden Flashes. Nothing really infamous just something seems not quite 100% with me.
In conclusion, the Mid-American Conference may not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of famous or infamous alumni. However, as we have seen, there are plenty of oddball characters who have attended these universities and left their mark on the world in various ways. From porn stars to drug smugglers to inventors of snack food packaging, the MAC has produced a diverse and colorful group of alumni.
It just goes to show that you never know who might be sitting next to you in class or walking across the stage at graduation. Whether they go on to achieve fame, notoriety, or onlyfans.
