Will the current Akron president hold a press conference tomorrow stating how much further in debt this decision will put the university?

I'd almost bet all will be on the weekdays this year. More exposure and no fans, it just makes sense.

I see Zipsnation is pumped for the return of Zips football! I'm setting the over/under at 0.5 games. Most winnable offhand probably will be BG. OH returns a lot, but did lose their QB, so there may be a chance there considering how important that piece is and was for them.

This decision was very calculated. Calculated in the way that the conference leadership looked at all of the decisions other conferences made this year and supplied an answer to a very basic question, "How stupid can we make ourselves look?".

Just when you think it can't get any worse....

No more splinters!!! LOL.

I'm not seeing how dropping to FCS would save any money. How many scholly's do we have in football this season? Is it more than 63? By cutting down, how much money would be saved? How much would attendance drop if we went FCS? How much revenue would be lost from the ESPN3/ESPNU games, and the P5 payday games? How much more would travel costs increase by flying to either North Dakota and South Dakota (YSU's conference) or California (Dayton's conference) every year? Would Men's Basketball and Men's Soccer be kicked out of the MAC?

A new day. 6 game season beginning 11/4 with a conference championship. Mid Week #MACtion. Miami at home. Kent away?
