I think that, interestingly -- or amazingly, depending on your perspective -- the Akron athletic department has never seen the advantages to making an investment in the women's game. Not anywhere near the extent of the men's program, but just in hiring a 'name' coach. Not to disrespect the current coach, who I don't know at all, but Keri had won multiple national level awards for coaching at youth level. Likely, she was making more $$$ with the Internationals than UA could pay her -- as is the reality in soccer coaching. I was working with Vernon to bring the team to HI, but then he departed... Oh, well. I understand they are only allowed a trip W of the Mississippi every four years! lol
