  2. It's objectively not True with Akron. Basketball had the longest winning streak of like 25-games in 2013 and got an NCAA Bid. They had 3 NCAA bids in the Dambrot era. Was there a substantial increase in Attendance/Support/Donations? No. An increase? Sure. Substantial increase? No. Bowden got the first 8-win season in school history, and won the first Bowl Game in school history. Was there a huge increase in people attending games? No. Was there a huge increase in donors to the now "winning program"? No. It's just an objective fact what you say here simply isn't true. There is a much deeper, far more long standing, cultural issue with the wider University of Akron Alumni/student/NE Ohio base that's affecting those things.

  3. FIrst off, don't get too caught up in the ratings since the ability of a player is all in the eyes of the beholder. Heck, there are a lot of kids that do not even get rated for one reason or another. You are correct that we will never out recruit a Big 10 school if a really good player is hell bent on going there for whatever reason. However, there are a lot of good players right here in our backyard that would prefer to play locally while obtaining a education. If a real effort is put forth, I feel that we should have at least 40-50 scholarship kids on the roster from NE Ohio. That would take roughly 10-15 NE Ohio offers per year which in my mind should be easily obtainable given the talent pool in this area. Not only do local players help fill the stadium with family and friends but local players are also more vested in the program in my mind. A glance at the transfer portal should help drive home that point...

  5. Ohio State Football makes more money in one quarter of one home game that Akron soccer will generate in the next 10 years. That's a math fact. There is no synergy of impact between the two examples other than they are male sports teams in Ohio.
