I think it had potential to be a fairly decent P5 job 10-20 years ago for all the perks you mentioned above. Akron was getting the IPF, new stadium, talent rich area, rapidly growing campus, etc. The problem is the landscape of college sports has vastly changed over the past several years. At the same time enrollment has plummeted, causing financial strain to a University that took on too much debt falsely believing they were positioned to be the next Cincinnati.

PDF box score says attendance of 1,773 tough to compete with high school football on Friday night https://gozips.com/documents/2025/8/30/akr-wvu-msoc-box-8-29-25a.pdf

💯but for me substitute ‘entire system’ for league and ‘created by NIL and the NCAA’ for ‘weeknight games’ I can barely bring myself to watch any college football.

I think Akron has a chance to generate points in this one. Not sure Finley's passes get points for the Zips or Blazers, but there will be points scored with the Zips offense on the field.

Zips had chances early with a laser off the upper 90 crossbar and WVU saved a corner header off the line. Was a hard fought, well deserved tie. Onto the next.

Dilfer and Kitna. Seahawks early 2000s.

UAB won but gave up 42 to Alabama State. Very good chance that we head into this game looking for our first points on the season. Good to know that the UAB defense isn’t the 85 Bears.

Not a bad team to draw against. Felt like we were the better team slightly. I think Mitch would hold down the fort long for us to win in OT if it happened. Onto the next!

Huge win tonight for Georgetown Georgetown with a 1-0 home win over highly ranked Pitt Wisconsin gets a 1-0 over Western Michigan Michigan defeated Creighton 3-1 VCU gets a 2-1 road win at Old Dominion At home, Providence with a 2-0 win over Boston College

A problem I see with Akron is what happens when the coach you hire sees behind the curtain. From the outside looking in, Akron looks like a great opportunity. Great stadium, great training facility, location that allows them to recruit well...and then....

What would you like to do with the rest of the teams?

Zips played absolutely ferocious defense tonight. Great game plan, great effort from the players.... Ashton and Matthew Paiva......make a tremendous duo on that side of the field. Matt Dreas and Jack Sullivan/Tyler Morck....were excellent in ball winning at midfield.

this loss was bad, don't recall many shutouts....for me that will always be iCoach going for 2 and losing to a IAA team in OT.

Pretty even played match. Ashton was very good.

Keep creating good chances, just need to work on the finishing

the announcer is just horrible...... several times, he called Tyler Morck.....Tyler Bush That being said, outstanding defensive game plan by the Zips.... outstanding swarming defense.

Good crowd today! Bleachers are almost full

You have a heck of a fan base, considering how many Cowboys fans showed up this far away after a 3-9 season. Good luck, and I hope to see you in the Playoffs.

I want to thank the Zip fans for their hospitality and kindness during our game. We found parking across from the stadium on a dirt field. The Akron fans there assured us it was OK and subjected us to some friendly ribbing about the game. I apologize for not getting over to the tailgates as we were late getting to the stadium and made it to our seats as the Zips kicked off. I was amused by comments of the Zips fans about their team's performance because the Wyoming fans were saying essentially the same things about the Cowboy's performance on their board. To me, it was a contest between two closely matched teams and the Pokes were lucky to pull it out. Eliminate the one interception, make the missed field goal and a couple more made plays and Akron would have won. So thanks again for your hospitality and here's hoping the Zipx win the rest of their games.

I’m sorry if this announcer on espn is a student but it’s rough. He just said recuperates the ball.

Oh goodness. Every day he's still here is just another day the "great new AD" proves his incompetence

If he's here, and I have heard it both ways, he competes with the forwards and wings for minutes. The Duquesne kid is the "viable backup big" who will share minutes with Amani.

I get it. He's underfunded. How about giving the school and the Akron sports fans some reason to provide you with more funding? Awful football and making zero effort to engage the community, while alienating donors, won't bring you more money. John Groce is 53 years old. Joe Morehead is 51. I see a hell of a lot more energy and efforts at engagement out of Groce. As a result, his program gets my money, not the losing program that acts like it couldn't care less about my fandom.

Friday August 29 American University and number 1 Vermont battled this afternoon to a 1-1 result. Vermont led 12-7 in shots ; 6 to 1 in shots on goal and 9-2 in corners Vermont plays at Georgetown on Monday September 1.
