Lt.Gov. Tressel should be pushing for the NCAA to #FreeAkron. Would also help if Senators Moreno and Husted got involved and VP Vance.

Akron needs to lawyer up and fight the postseason ban. Precedent was just set.

I loathe the double non DI games, but the rest of this schedule is fantastic. James Madison & Princeton AT HOME to start the season is incredible. The Paradise Jam features 3 games, with Iona being the first game. They have a new head coach this year, so as long as Akron takes care of business, they will play the winner of Evansville/Oregon State. The other side of the bracket includes Green Bay, Yale, UMass, and Charleston, so there is some really good competition in the tournament that could be added to the schedule. Well done Groce & Co.

Wow we get to play PENN STATE Shenango at home this year! https://gozips.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule

For someone who preaches "how does the University benefit the community", you sure are hellbent on making sure the University is stuck with the "banned from postseason play" label, which certainly does NOT benefit the community.

I'd be difficult to prove damages when making a bowl game would cost the school more than it would make.

I can agree with this. There already is a decent #FreeAkron campaign based on the precedent, too. If Akron is successful this year and ends up being bowl eligible or even in contention for the MAC Championship Game, look out. It'll be similar to the JMU postseason campaign from a couple years ago.

I agree but we have to prove damages. If UA gets six wins then files for the injunction there will be a mass #FreeAkron campaign but we need something to kick that off. If they are going to stink or be modestly better, but not bowl eligible, then there's no reason to fight it.

Great way to drown our sorrows! A game will be cheaper than going to a bar so students might as well come to the game

I like the Zips I'm this game. Wyoming was bad last year. I'm assuming Akron will be better than last year. Road game across the country for Wyoming is also a handicap for them. My way too early prediction, given no injuries during training camp for either team, Akron 33, Wyoming 28.
