MACtion!

Something about this just doesn’t add up - must be more to this story. Maybe he just waited too long and this was the only offer still on the table? There is no way that he chooses Akron over some of those other schools. I’m guessing that it was Buffalo, Akron, Tulsa, and Sacramento State as the only valid offers left and he chose Akron.

I don’t know how in the hell they could get to $1 million in NIL unless Kaulig dumps it all into the pot. I say this half jokingly, but it really is pathetic, maybe they could offer food as an NIL as an incentive of to keep some kids.?

Please give a full report! Hope they have a Q&A and some people ask some tough questions about the direction of the program

Akron and Kent AD’s discuss out of conference scheduling https://www.crainscleveland.com/sports-recreation/kent-state-akron-may-cut-back-football-money-games

This is ridiculous

As much as they want? You must be really impressed with this Wyoming team?

It’s the annual bible of college football information. It lists every team’s depth chart, stats, and other info. I’d post a screenshot but the type is so small and packed with info that it would be hard to read. You can buy it online or some bookstores carry it.

Wow, surprised that the Zips are that big of an underdog at home against a team that was 3-9 last year. Not saying it should be an easy win, but that seems like alot of points.

Interesting…Phil Steele lists the Zips as a bowl team, or bowl caliber team, in this article about the MAC. https://philsteele.com/2025-mac-hits-and-misses/ What I also find interesting is that it seems almost every MAC team has announced which of their players were mentioned as Phil Steele pre season All MAC honorees but I see nothing posted from Akron. Did I miss it or are they asleep at the wheel??

Well, this is always an option…if we had any money…

Win 6 to become bowl eligible which will create a national “Free Akron” campaign that will shine the light on the ridiculous irony in the NCAA rules.

This rule seems like it would hit Akron pretty hard. Being a lower tier D1 (and MAC) school it seems like several players in the last couple years have hit the portal and/or flunked out and never reappeared on another roster. I’d guess that this is fairly typical when dealing with so many Juco kids. They overestimated their value and ended up working at Wal Mart - and bringing down Akron’s APR in the process.

This program is far from perfect but you can find students/ex students at every school in the country that has this same take. Very predictable

Serious question: does this actually put Joe’s job in jeopardy before this season?

Define “holds up”. Is there a way out of this? This would be so Akron to finally be bowl eligible and not get to go.

Too many juco players and players that are on their last chance

Zips hitting the specialists hard the last week. Offers to long snapper and a punter.

So he must be a doctor now?

Looks like Miami got a haul of P5 transfers this year.

70% chance of no rain at kickoff

😂

Wouldn’t this be nice?!

Also heard Norton is academically ineligible, cannot play anywhere this upcoming season
