Well its been 24 hours. Is this a Monday 9am type of thing?

Someone once told me that a manager must be able to manage two things: safety and turnover. If this all goes down, we'll find out how good the ad really is.

Bud Wentz retweeted these...interesting...

Groce has hit a ceiling here unless we can get about 1 million more in NIL. I think he is trying to leverage this offseason to find it. If Akron doesn’t give in. I think he will go as I don’t think he is bluffing. does that announcement of the expanded Nike/LeBron partnership give any hope.

Change can be exciting. A renewal.

I think @NWAkron is going to whack Groce!!

Graveyards are full of indispensable men.

If there is one thing I have learned in 40 years owning a business, no one is irreplaceable, not even me.

This is 100% true, but don't underestimate the subsection of that base that also engages in bigotry and will sit the election out before voting for Vivek.

I saw a lovely photo on the Zips Soccer IG story of Ger post match with all of the Zips on both teams of this match. Great showing by the boys!

If "MACtion" were tied to things like the standing-room-only crowd in Bowling Green for the Battle of I-75...yeah, "MACtion" would be a great branding. But, like you noted, it's tied to the usually tiny crowds (again, Akron's biggest butts-in-seats was that Tuesday Kent game, so good on them) on freezing weeknights.

With the way bowls are crumbling, perhaps with a 6-6 record Akron can find a neutral site game in Florida this year.

I mentioned before I'm not in NEO anymore. I once had an acquaintance pronounce it Ack-RON, which sounds like the name of a robot. I didn't think when I hit "play" on this video this newscaster would butcher it WORSE than that. I am impressed. P.S. This acquaintance was from Elkton, Maryland, so *all she had to do* was follow the same pronunciation style of her own city, but nope. LOL

He did this successfully last season as well. Less reported on but absolutely did happen.

Nice to be courted and see what’s out there. Makes requests to Goodrich credible.

Yes to some reality here. Why would John leverage the University twice? Ok maybe he did not with USF but hard to imagine the University or Bud would not have reacted with some counter. Must be something here. Although I do believe the MAC and Akron are a better conference, fit, etc..

The threat is absolutely real. If it wasn't, Groce/his team could've squashed the rumors. Now, whether or not that turns into reality, we will see.

What a save by Beto …. Goal for Emil…

Acceptance is the first step. I thought I saw Mike Lewis at the Montrose Starbucks this morning.

My heart keeps telling me this is all rumor but I keep hearing more and more to convince me this threat is real.

It's partly about attendance. It's mostly about other things. Some say MACtion is a great brand. It's a catch phrase. The MAC is a conference and a brand. A brand is how others see you and you have to do things to make yourself more attractive. Playing on weeknights in empty stadiums is horrible for the MAC; therefore, it is horrible for the brand. I'm sorry if there are some athletic directors out there who may shy away from MAC schools because they gave up weeknight games. Maybe they can find other universities to run into the ground. Either way, they need to go away.

I think when she sees Akron, she thinks acorn.

Long A in Akron. What a moron

Oh for sure, don't get me wrong - I get all of the non-financial reasons he would do it. I would do it if I were in his position. He loves Akron basketball. I was just responded to someone saying he may stop if he isn't getting a financial return.
