Coach Gensler has completed his reload of the roster. Hopefully there will be no repeat of last years injury riddled season. https://gozips.com/news/2025/6/4/akron-womens-basketball-adds-four-to-2025-signing-class?fbclid=IwY2xjawKuXQFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHu-k_dsHV4L_xANyfB7Iqwcg_66u5VVDwi_xESJeDzgRkg1NSCHZvaO54VSv_aem_6ElaCRWeYYOno7TtI7f9Bw

This is actually a move up for Camden. At Akron his main job was development(fundraising). This new position is better suited to what he showed after Charles departed. External operations is more about the day to day operations of the department. It also reunites him with his former coworker who is the AD at Omaha. It's also much closer to where he grew up in Missouri.

Sam is planning on staying. Her institutional knowledge will really help out the new AD.

I believe you are going to get your wish but not in the way you think. What's going to happen, is the P4 schools are going to break away from the enforcement policies of the house settlement. If what I am reading is true, they won't want to abide by the salary constraints. That will leave the rest of us with a more manageable framework. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/conference-expulsion-no-penalty-structure-frustration-mounts-as-college-sports-enforcement-comes-into-focus/

As far as I know, this is the most championships won by Akron athletics in a single year. MBB Regular and Tournament MSOC Regular Men’s Indoor T&F Swimming & Diving WLaX Regular and Tournament Men’s Outdoor T&F Also the best finishes by Softball and Baseball in years Best finish by Football In 6 years

Congratulations to Markus!

AD doesn't control that budget.

You're over thinking this. There is no conspiracy. The information is out there for anybody to see.

Craig is an interesting guy. He is from Canada and was a hockey player. He is a lot of fun and the players really like him.

You hit the nail on the head! If this situation was somehow the fault of the administration, we would be having the same type of problems in the other programs. Moorhead dropped the ball even though the administration was all over him about this problem. They even hired an outsider firm to help. They offered players the chance to come back and complete their degree for no charge! But the guys we were bringing in didn't care after they left via the portal or after they ran out of eligibility.

I'm just a realist. The new leadership group is serious about stopping the bleeding.

I doubt anybody is going to happy about the meaningful changes that are coming.

The issue is the revolving door of players. Too many players making no progress towards a degree.

It's the head coaches job to make sure the players are holding up their end of the bargain.

The Zips are ineligible for a bowl game this season due to low APR.
