  1. That is an awfully low buyout. Could be a strategic bargaining point (and indicator of interest) to help JG move up to a more prestigious gig. Make no mistake, virtually all coaches are going to move up if the opportunity and money are right. I'm guessing Groce and Dustin have one more try at a top-20 program in them.
  2. When did Reghi turn into a bowling ball?
  3. Ohio already flies to NIU and Buffalo. Flying to UMASS might be less expensive than flying to NIU.
  4. OU's faculty senate wields a lot of power. They fight every new investment in intercollegiate athletics. Heads would explode.
  5. Zero truth to this rumor.
  6. Is this the first time since Akron has been in the MAC that Ohio is not on the schedule? Weird.
  7. I wouldn't disagree if the facts in this case were untrue. They're not untrue. Nor did we fight last year's penalty.
  8. Can't think of a worse PR strategy - call more attention to the program's academic ineptitude. Great for the program image and U image.
  9. Not according to the MAC or the NCAA. Conference title games are postseason. Akron is banned from postseason.
  10. Can't compete for league title. Can't accept a bowl invite. What should the team goal be and how the hell does the HC motivate them? "Our goal is _______."
  11. Per the NCAA website, teams must earn a four-year average APR of 930 to compete in championships. "For football, falling below the threshold bars a program from conference championship games and bowl games. The minimum threshold of 930 equates to a 50 percent graduation rate.
  12. Akron can't win the MAC this year because it is barred from the league championship game, a point overlooked by the esteemed ABJ writer covering this story. At least we have the, uh, "Action Plan." That makes it all better. Can't wait for them to come up with Action Plans for the several other issues ailing the university. Interesting that Nemer didn't identify a single element of the Plan. Could it all just be another PR move by the BOT? Likely.
  13. Nothing changes unless people voice their concerns directly to the people in charge, including Nemer and the BOT.
  14. Nope. Also prohibited from playing in the MAC title game. This is on Joe. This program has exhibited little/no discipline concerning player behavior (and, apparently, academic performance) since day one of his tenure. When your backup QB (Undercuffler) gets a 15-yard penalty from the sideline for launching F-bombs at the officials (clearly heard on the TV broadcast, BTW) and your coach does nothing about it, you've become a renegade program. When your players come out of the locker room at an away game with middle fingers flying at the opposing fans (Peden Stadium in 2024) and no one is sat down, it's time to question whether you're doing things the right way. This program is an embarrassment to the university.
  15. The only required sports for men are football (FBS) and basketball. Baseball is not required.
