The 1 seeds are determined by the NCAAT selection committee. Seeds 2-8 are done by the NIT selection committee.

I agree with this statement. The numbers don't even seem consistent. Why does a rifle scholarship cost ~$79k Men's teams (7): A total of 124.36 scholarships were split among 198 student-athletes, costing $4,067,092. $4,067,092/124.36 = 32,704 Women's teams (10):A total of 94.8 scholarships were split among 162 student-athletes, costing $2,897,342. $2,897,342/94.8 = 30,563 Mixed team of men and women (1): Rifle. A total of 3.6 scholarships split among 12 student-athletes, costing $283,741 $283,741/3.6 = $78,817 In State Out of State Cost of Attendance $27,002 $35,534 https://www.uakron.edu/finaid/cost-of-attendance/

Here is some interesting tidbits. Bowl expenses: $768,786 Bowl revenue: $550,000 Keith Dambrot (salary) $932,017 Tickets Sale Revenue: $370,226 for men's basketball Loan payments for the stadium totaled $4.4 million in 2015-16, of which $4.1 was assigned to athletic purposes. Ticket Sale Revenue: $1,061,584 for football Guarantees for playing away games: $1,287,000. Guarantees paid to visiting teams: $818,151

Well, I will say this was a nicely done piece. Certainly better than similar type pieces from the ABJ.

I'm not sure what exactly happened that made Hughes completely fall out of the rotation after returning from his injury, but I feel he will need to make huge strides if we are to contend next year.

Like Zippyfan and Dr.Z said we ran into a quality UTA team that based off their performance against BYU and us, appears to be peaking. We came out playing sloppy and were chasing points the entire night instead of just settling in. On offense UTA did a tremendous job of moving the ball around selflessly to make that extra pass turning what would have been good shots into great shots. On defense they had the perfect game plan and personnel needed to nuetralize Big Dog. They managed to send double and even at times triple team help while still rotating fast enough to cover whoever he dished it off to. They exposed our weaknesses. We look lost offensively when Big Dog isn't able to create others shots and our guards don't have the lateral quickness to keep their man in front of them.

Dambrot has called out specific coaches by name, like he did when he said he talked to UM coach face to face. If you don't think there was little truth in it, wouldn't those coaches refute it? It's also not like Akron is the only up and coming mid-major that has voiced those concerns. I suppose all those coaches are lying and just trying to protect themselves...

If the answer was that simple we'd have the best football team in the MAC.

That was a really great article. Very thorough analysis.

Perhaps UTA will get an invite after the game since Akron is making them look like world beaters.

We certainly need bigger, faster, stronger players. I don't know how we can get them, but we won't take the next step without them.

Yeah, I had to turn the game off after they decided to turn it into a dunk contest off of the errant pass.

Well that's game.

Yeah, I don't even know what halftime adjustments that can be made. We haven't stopped dribble penetration all year, I can't see how we'll suddenly start now.

This team would run away with the MAC. We are getting outplayed.

Is that our 7th travel?

We have been in the bonus for 4 minutes and still haven't taken it to the hole.

This might be a long night. We have no answer defensively and the times we don't turn it over, we are getting bad looks. Have to survive this 1st half and make some serious adjustments at the half.

We need to settle down. We've made so many unforced turnovers so far.

What the hell was that TDM?

We needed that media timeout. We need to move the ball around and create more better looks.

Such sloppy play on both sides so far.

Like to see all those d-line offers outstanding. Now we just need to land a couple.

Nice arena. Shame despite having an enrollment of nearly 40,000 and basketball being the schools #1 sport, they don't have a football team, they've never filled the arena to capacity for a basketball game (seats 7,000).
