This is some heartbreaking news out of Central Michigan.

According to Tony Paul with the Detroit News, CMU football and basketball broadcaster Don Chiodo passed away on Wednesday. He passed away following a car accident during the afternoon. Chiodo was 54-years-old.

Currently, the CMU football team is gearing up for Saturday’s MAC Championship Game against Miami (OH). The Chippewas are 8-4 in their first season under head coach Jim McElwain.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Chiodo family and the CMU family for their loss.
