I hope you are being sarcastic here. If Akron was winning constantly, nothing going on in Columbus would matter to Akron.
Look how many major teams Florida, Texas, Cali, Michigan, etc, etc. have. If you prove you can win consistently, you will draw attendance. No, UA will not draw 70,000, or 35,00 consistently, but I could see 20-25,000 on a regular basis if Akron was winning.
This constant woe is me attitude and constant empathy is really sad to see. I really don't understand. I attended every home game and a few road games before I moved south. I knew the team wasn't good, but it was D1 football, it was close and it was my home team. I really don't understand.....
