^^ What on earth?! That's embarrassing. Jerome was named Outstanding Junior (Offense). What more would she want? JoJo was clearly the Offensive MVP this season, if that's her gripe. He had one of the best offensive seasons I've ever seen from a Zip.

Regardless of how I feel about Fleck, imagine how much it would turn the whole Playoff System validity upside down if WMU wins, and a team who was 14-0 playing in D-1A had no chance to even compete for the national title.

We have a much bigger need for another big center. If we add another guy it probably won't be a guard.

Another reality sometimes is that a kid doesn't want to stay home to play. College for many is a chance to venture out into the big world. In that instance, a kid might choose an equal or program for a chance to go away.

Hopefully Steve McNees got some revenge and dunked on someone.

If you go to page 9 you will see Cuyahoga County's Conventions and Visitor Bureau numbers. They are netting a revenue of about $8.5M more than Akron per year and that's after contributing ~$1.5M to Gateway, $232K to the convention center, and $1.4M to the Rock HoF. They had a surplus of about $4.7M for 2015 after accounting for all expenses, A number that I imagine will skyrocket for 2016 considering the number of hotels they opened and the rooms they had filled for the RNC. Long story short Cuyahoga County has a huge surplus in bed tax money to spend so spending it on the venue that can bring it large conventions, like the RNC, makes sense. Summit County pretty much has their bed tax eaten up via overhead. Salaries, property insurance, utilities, food services, repair and maintenance, & Supplies eats up 75%+ of what they collect. That doesn't really leave them with any room to finance any large scale arena (or anything for that matter). Cuyahoga County doesn't need to put a new tax on the ballot to fund an arena because it already has revenue generating from a preexisting one to fund it. Summit County would need a new tax as it doesn't have anywhere to pull that money from. http://ohioauditor.gov/auditsearch/Reports/2016/CVB_of_Greater_Cleveland_15-Cuyahoga.pdf
