Take your complaint up with the NCAA.

Nemer says plan is in place to handle the situation- https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/college/zips/2025/05/08/akron-zips-president-rj-nemer-football-academic-scores-apr-ineligible-for-bowl-game-2025/83517983007/

Very young, very sheltered spoiled adults who have had smoke blown up their asses since they played pee-wee football.

Many don't. Life is full of choices. They are adults.

Many professions require college degrees. Many even require continuing education after obtaining a degree. You act like that's abnormal.

Ok, why do they need a college degree to become a professional in something else? Why aren't we all professionals at whatever job we do. I expect the manager at an Arby's to be a professional even though that person may not have a college degree.

My original comment, the one you responded to, clearly stated that they will end up going pro in something other than football. If after their college eligibility dries up and they need to find a new profession, what I said would still be factually accurate. The only way it wouldn't be is if they're able to make enough from football to retire. You can claim that they're professionals now, but they will still need to become professional in something else long-term. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

LOVE this 🤣

They are getting paid to play. That makes them professionals.

How much money do you honestly think they're making on Akron's roster? Do you think it's enough for them to live off of for the next 40, 50, 60+ years? Odds are if they aren't disciplined to attend class, they're also not disciplined enough to save for retirement. They will be working 9-5 jobs like the rest of us.

In the NIL era, many have already gone pro.

Bowden had a great resume. Arth had a decent resume. Moorhead had a great resume. Yet, we're still here. At some point you have to wonder if the problem isn't the guys UA is hiring.

Exactly, odds are 84 out of the 85 guys on scholarship will go pro in something other than football. This isn't like basketball where there are dozens of overseas leagues they can professionally play in.

I've seen them and lived with them in the same dorm in the past. They arent the brightest.

That makes you a dummy in my book

If a players main prerogative is to make a bowl game why would they choose Akron regardless? Akron has been in the MAC for 30+ years and has made 3 total bowls. That equates to 1 every 10 years. They would have better odds of making a bowl game at literally any other MAC school. The players we're getting IMO are coming for a variety of different reasons such as; they have limited options, they want an opportunity to see the field, want to play locally, like a coach, etc. I would add money to the list, but I'm not sure if the NIL for the program is really in a place to win bidding wars.

What if they aren't dummies at all? What if they simply don't care because if they start to flunk out they can just go to another school?

Its bad enough we are currently in a dynasty of losing but if you also can't produce a roster of APR passing collegiate athletes = WHY ARE YOU HERE. $600k for what? = Embarrassment on and off the field = Embarrassment to the University? My 16 yr old son who plays HS football in Ohio even found an article to text to me about this. Its embarrassing.

Nothing changes unless people voice their concerns directly to the people in charge, including Nemer and the BOT.

Will Akron take them to court?

Probably because they know this APR ban won’t stick. As soon as a school takes NCAA to court over it, APR will go away. It should have been eliminated already.

Why would players come to Akron with the postseason ban and embarrassing recent headlines?

We offered Syracuse RB Juwaun Price. I’m guessing one of our current RBs has left the team in some capacity.
