Steelers sign Jawon Chisholm. Just a reminder from Jawon at his Pro Day how far the Zips have come with coach Bowden. Jawon on Twitter @beenlikethis

Per VerbalCommits.com http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/ricardo-hill-jr Good luck, Ricardo! Best wishes.

Too bad it wasn't Obama stimulus dollars-- then there'd be no debt. Dyer's column is devastating in the picture it paints of Scar's leadership so far. And Proenza's. The headline is deadly "UA's demise". wow. This whole thing has been a PR disaster. Why would anyone go to UA, play for UA, contribute to UA at this point? Just devastating... One thing I think he should have noted is that UA's construction binge wasn't unusual or fantastically egregious-- our debt is large, but not unheard of. The reality is the campus desperately needed investment. He missed acknowledging this. He also didn't note that this was a huge investment in Akron, probably the single biggest investment in Akron in decades. Resources didn't leave the area-- they came in. Thousands of construction jobs and $600 million of local investment. He should be saying "it's a fantastic and amazing thing to have that investment occur but now how does the community help justify the faith that Proenza showed by making this investment?" I dunno-- something still seems really off to me. Did revenues plummet (because of enrollment declines) or expenses increase unexpectedly by tens of millions? Was there an accounting change of some sort? A sudden $60 million "hole" doesn't just appear out of nowhere.

I am going with President Poly Tech and his budget.
