Writeup from Providence web site Providence is 4-0-1 this year at home. Akron and Providence have only played once before. A 3-3 tie at Akron in 2023. https://friars.com/news/2026/10/14/mens-soccer-mens-soccer-hosts-no-9-akron-for-big-east-matchup

It just seems odd because there was at least 1 person saying that he heard he could have played against UNLV, but they didn't want to risk a further injury entering MAC play. Obviously it must have been a bit more severe than the miss 1 or 2 games that was originally led on. With FBS football pretty much functioning as a professional lite league now you would think they would require a similar injury report that the NFL does.

MAC men's and women's basketball media day will be Tuesday October 20th. It will be livestreamed on the Field of 68 YouTube page. https://x.com/MACSports/status/2109992557975650385

West Virginia doesn't count towards anything for us anymore. Imagine how nice that win would've been?

Based on the timing of the release last year, I think we could see the Selection Committee's initial top 16 update released on Friday. Last year, it was released on Friday, October 17 and included matches through October 14. So, I think this year's could be released on Friday with matches through October 13.

I don't need more fool's gold. We already know Coach 14-40 isn't taking Akron anywhere. I'd rather play schools that someone has heard of. BUT, your argument is reasonable. I can see why some want to do that. Just, we don't need to be paying schools to come to Akron so we can draw 4,000 people.

That's why you would need to implement Financial Fair Play. Limit athletic programs to only being able to spend 125% of what they generate in revenue. And by revenue I mean real revenue. Strip out all the institutional support. That would bring fiscal responsibility and restore G5 athletics to what college athletics was 30, 40 years ago. Let the P4 have their NFL/NBA lite professional league.

It's a small price for another line on an athletic director's resume.
