Same

Hunter hires Bobby Petrino and drops an NIL collective in the same day.

Both Sean Lewis and Joe are on the PSU OC list. SB Nation list and mentioned in the Athletic "Lewis could be a candidate to replace Yurcich, but it surely is a lengthy list and one that should include a phone call to former Penn State offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead, the current head coach at Akron."

I think people moved just to sit in the sun and stay warm.

Wonder what Steve French is thinking?

Wonder if this is real

I wondered too. Quick math says 29 (if 18 voted for blackout out of the 29 votes).

Not aware of a collective. There is an NIL Club for University of Akron Football Team and the Akron Zips Marketplace

Exactly, CMU had 50 rushes alone.

It's like watching a different sport.

I like the idea of the Zips Today podcast. 50% of the podcast is commercials though. Thankfully you can skip them but it is like trying to watch a 15 second highlight on ESPN.com but the ad to get there is 30 seconds.

Preseason Mid Major Top 10 (Akron at #8) from the Athletic One quote from the article: Groce says this is the deepest team he’s had in his seven years at Akron, and it’s certainly the oldest he will ever coach. The best part, he says, is that the veterans only care about each other and about winning. Can this last dance lead to a spot in the Big Dance? Groce is simply trying to enjoy each step. “We’ve got a culture that’s unbelievable right now,” he says. “We think we have a special team and a special chance to do something significant with our group.”

I don't know what this means but it seems good

Interesting marketing strategy
