A new name means additional money that would presumably be spent on the arena so I am all for it

I agree. I hate Kent State as much as anyone. But when something like that happens to a school, we should do everything we can to distance ourselves from it.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! The moving A with the mustard yellow was tacky, lame, and Div. II. Now that we have real uniforms and logos, why dredge up bad memories of when we didn't? If they want to honor JT, just put a dolphin sticker on the helmets.

Jim Rhodes did nothing wrong.

That's actually why I feel it should be changed. Sports are suppose to be an escape from everyday life. Friends and family attending games, some of which may be Akron alumni, shouldn't have to be reminded of the loved ones they lost that tragic day when attending a game.

Flashback Story: Many of you will be too young to remember this, but I was at Akron when James A. Rhodes Arena was named. I think there was even some protest/picketing. Why? It seems that the Kent loyalists still had issues in the early 80's with the former Governor Rhodes for sending the National Guard to Kent in 1970. I bet it still makes the older Kent fans mad when they have to come here and see his name pasted on the front of the arena. And for that reason, I say we continue to keep the name on there !!

Unlike the name changes of the Gund and the Jake, I'd gladly welcome this name change.

It's no laughing matter. I happen to be a big advocate of the Deaf-Moot Society.

If you don't want to listen, put your phone on moot.

This is just an odd take. You don't think Akron's shitty graduation rates had/have anything to do with them having zero or very low admission requirements? The graduation rates have a lot more to do with who they let in than how tough the programs are. Harvard has a 98% graduation rate. Their programs must be a joke! I'm sure there would be a pretty clear correlation when comparing the more "prestigious" schools with the schools with the higher graduation rates. Half of my dorm floor failed out their freshman year because they partied every night, got into drugs, and never went to class. None of that has anything to do with how tough any programs are. It has everything to do with how responsible someone is, which is why I am posting it as my advice. Can't believe an innocent comment has evolved into this discussion.

That's the way it SHOULD be IMO. College should be accessible not because of your ability to pay $$$ but your ability to work and achieve at what you're studying. Too many college policies these days give second, third, forth chances because Universities need the $$$$.

Go to class, at least some of the time. Half of my dorm floor failed out before the first year was over.

I know part of it is because he's injured, but who would have thought Marcus would have been the first one waived out of the players we have at training camp this year?
