One of the only nice things I will say about Ohio State is I appreciate them not shying away from playing Akron on a consistent basis - both here and there.

St John’s will be the Family/Homecoming Weekend game on October 3. Important Big East Conference game. https://redstormsports.com/sports/mens-soccer/schedule

A10 team St Louis University will play the Zips in Akron on September 23. They were in the NCAA tournament last season after finishing second to Dayton in conference. https://slubillikens.com/sports/mens-soccer/schedule

Team Captain with a 3.82 GPA. Need 20 more of him.

it will probably be a while before the zips announce the official schedule. Some schools have announced their schedule. Huge early season test for the Zips. Zips play at Ohio State on September 5. https://ohiostatebuckeyes.com/sports/mens-soccer/schedule Zips will play at Butler on September 27 https://butlersports.com/news/2025/5/8/mens-soccer-mens-soccer-releases-2025-schedule-featuring-matches-with-six-ncaa-tournament-teams.aspx

Hate to see this. I thought he was one of the good ones in athletic administration. Is Sam Maxwell far behind? I also think she is good at her job.

Camden Stockton has moved on from Akron. He did a nice job promoting basketball last season.

I do not remember. It just really surprised me.

Much less than his dad's asking price of $4mil.

How much NIL PJ get?

Nate's going to have some transfer company at Kansas State as they just "signed" PJ Haggerty, a 6'3" guard from Memphis, the nation's third leading scorer last year. It will be his 4th school in 4 years.

HGTV. The rime place to advertise football.

Billboards and radio advertising I've heard frequently.

I saw something that I have not seen in years. A TV ad promoting Akron football. Can anyone remember the last time you saw any paid advertising for any Akron sports program?

People like to pick the language apart, but it's propped up by taxpayers. If it wasn't for taxpayer support, UofA wouldn't exist.

Coaching salaries have become absurd. Sure, guys like Nick Saban did enough to generate buzz and revenue at their schools to be worth their salaries. I just don't see how the math math's that guys like Moorhead are worth $500k and his assistants are worth ~$150k (or more) each. Most of the revenue Akron generates in football is fixed. The other revenue (ticket sales, concessions, parking) that are coach can impact is very minimal at schools like Akron. Camden Stockton I remember in an interview said ticket sales only generated ~$800k in revenue and that was for all sports. Even if we say football makes up 75% that would be barely enough to cover just Moorhead's pay. The whole system is propped up because of institutional support.

Schools like Northwestern, Wake Forest, Duke, Stanford, etc will be finished. P4 is going away. It will be one super league. It has nothing to do with the NFL and everything to do with TV networks. One super leage is less expensive to produce and more expensive to buy advertising for. It's a win-win for the TV networks.
