It's actually interesting to look at this... BG, Youngstown, Cleveland all took the word STATE as part of their name. Akron, Toledo, Cincinnati, Dayton all did not. Then OSWho and OU did something else all together. The old Memphis State changed their name to University of Memphis about 10 years ago, so I guess name changes do happen.

Keep the name, but look to the future & change our colors to a much bolder/more innovative Blue & Gold.

Updated the OP. Go Miami (today only)!

It doesn't matter what we name it. If any of us win, we all share in the glory. #TeamOhio

In the MAC, it's only Akron/Can't. Conferences with bad weather late in the season and poor overall attendance should play their rivalyry games as early as possible.

I'll focus on a couple of local media-related items this morning. First of all, where was Willie Alvarez last night? Was he suspended or injured? He never played As if you think the ABJ is bad, you have to see what this PD article had to say this morning. http://www.cleveland.com/sports/college/index.ssf/2015/02/akron_ends_mac_basketball_losi.html#incart_river 1) We play at Buffalo on Tuesday and close the season at home against Miami on Friday?? Really?? 2) OU and Akron played in the MAC Tournament Final every year between 2009 and 2013?? It gets funnier all the time.

Baloney! You should not be catered to. Now I realize that 98% of the UA faculty supports OSU, 98% of the UA staff supports OSU, 98% of the UA student body supports OSU, 98% of the UA alumni base supports OSU and about 99% of the Akron community supports OSU. But it shouldn't matter. Take some pride in what you are doing and stop treating your school only as a place to get a degee and start treating it as the University of Akron. Hell, I would increase that $800 fee to athletics to $2,400. Once you swipe in and out and attend all home football and basketball games, you can earn the $1,600 back. ZI....
