Akron's football team scored an 885 during the 2021-22 school year, a 905 in 2022-23 and a 920 in 2023-24. So it has improved every year since JoeMo's first year? It's still not ideal, but at least JoeMo isn't fully complacent. I really hope part of the plan is to challenge the ruling by the NCAA. LSU and New Mexico State reportedly failed to meet the 930 score during the pandemic pause, but were not penalized. LOL. F the NCAA. They can eat a bag of Kent 💩. If the APR was just reinstated last year, how can there be a 4 year report to fail? That's such horse crap.

78% of NFL players are estimated to experience financial difficulties or go bankrupt within two years of retiring. So spare us from that BS reference. NIL has nothing to do with APR. Out of 134 schools we are at the bottom and folks have the nerve to blame NIL. Stop it

What if your boss had an expectation you didn't want to comply with and you could string them along until just before they fired you, you went to work somewhere else? That's what's going on in college athletics.

I would find a new job. These players can do the same if attending class is such a burden. Nobody is forcing them to be here. Perhaps they could work the grill at Arby's until they work themselves up to manager. After all you pointed out earlier no degree is required for that.

Likely most.

What if you boss told you you couldn't fart for 8 hours then required you to eat ten bowls of Raisin Bran?

I'm not that interested in talking to the problem.

Maybe some.

Thanks for sharing. This kind of confirms what I shared yesterday. This will end up being a 2 year ban minimum as it will take both this year and next to cycle out that 2021-2022 score.

Take your complaint up with the NCAA. Edit: Part of being an adult is complying with what your employer instructs. If my boss told me that they need me to be in the office and I tell them I'm not going I'm quickly going to need another job. Part of their job is to attend class. They aren't holding up to their part of the bargain. They're failing to behave like adults.

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.
