Only 6 non conference games 2 against non D1 But the other 4 are solid. The neutral and road games are really good. I like it a lot and think if we play our cards right might have a chance at large bid

Did we already know about Bucknell at home? That's a decent opponent.

Nice to see there was still room for the Concord Grapes. Maybe we can return the home cooking we got at Princeton.

I agree with everything you stated here. I just want to add that going to court would ultimately just lead to the ABJ publishing several stories on it, which just gives the school and program a bad look. Ultimately it's unlikely the Zips will win 6 games to make bowl eligibility anyway. We've already taken the brunt of the bad PR. No need to make it resurface when odds are we aren't going to a bowl regardless.

Ah yes, the three stooges.

I don't think fighting the post season ban is a fight worth having. Akron didn't live up to Akron's obligations as a member of the NCAA. Akron is getting punished for Akron's actions. Accepting punishment for wrongdoing is the adult thing to do. Another adult thing to do would be to learn from this lesson and get better, not call a lawyer. We're four months away from bowl season. The best we could hope for is to get a temporary injunction until the case could go to trial in 2026. Do you have any idea how full Federal Court dockets are? How long do you want this drama to go on until we ultimately lose a case? What if Akron loses the case and next year at this time we are having the same conversation? How is anyone being helped carrying on with this case? Adult conversation over.... Meetings over.

I loathe the double non DI games, but the rest of this schedule is fantastic. James Madison & Princeton AT HOME to start the season is incredible. The Paradise Jam features 3 games, with Iona being the first game. They have a new head coach this year, so as long as Akron takes care of business, they will play the winner of Evansville/Oregon State. The other side of the bracket includes Green Bay, Yale, UMass, and Charleston, so there is some really good competition in the tournament that could be added to the schedule. Well done Groce & Co.

Wow we get to play PENN STATE Shenango at home this year! https://gozips.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule

For someone who preaches "how does the University benefit the community", you sure are hellbent on making sure the University is stuck with the "banned from postseason play" label, which certainly does NOT benefit the community.

Lt.Gov. Tressel should be pushing for the NCAA to #FreeAkron. Would also help if Senators Moreno and Husted got involved and VP Vance.

Sunday home opener for the lady Zips is against Eastern Illinois. in last year’s contest , E. Illinois and the zips played to a 1-1 tie. Eastern Illinois opened their season last night with a 4-0 loss to Southern Illinois.

I'd be difficult to prove damages when making a bowl game would cost the school more than it would make.

They are really transforming Buchtel Commons. Lots of work to do but it’s going to be a much needed facelift

I can agree with this. There already is a decent #FreeAkron campaign based on the precedent, too. If Akron is successful this year and ends up being bowl eligible or even in contention for the MAC Championship Game, look out. It'll be similar to the JMU postseason campaign from a couple years ago.

I agree but we have to prove damages. If UA gets six wins then files for the injunction there will be a mass #FreeAkron campaign but we need something to kick that off. If they are going to stink or be modestly better, but not bowl eligible, then there's no reason to fight it.

Why would we pay for a law firm to fight for a result that would cost us money?

Akron needs to lawyer up and fight the postseason ban. Precedent was just set.

Better than a loss 🤷

New Mexico and the Transfer Portal On Football: "To fill the losses, New Mexico football has added 129 new players over the past two years after back-to-back coaching changes, including 72 new faces this year. Just 15 players from the 2023 team are still here, according to the school." On Basketball: "Lovo hired Eric Olen from UC San Diego off an NCAA Tournament appearance, and every single player on the 2025-26 Lobo roster is new to the team. “I joke that Coach Olen walked into his first team meeting and there was nothing but chairs in the room”

final exhibition game Detroit had a record of 3-10-4 in 2024.

Full 90 complete. Nil nil draw. Akron had slight statistical advantage on the scorekeeper app, though no possession % given.

65 minutes played in Ft W. Scoreless match, but Akron now leads 14-8 in shot attempts. Emma King has like 7 shots for the Zips.
