Class of 2025 Offers & Commits

I don't know about that. Have you ever visited the Parthenon?

They have been do that for years. Last year 15,000 free tickets distributed to various organizations. Around 150 redeemed. Joe Akron just doesn't give a crap about UA football. We would draw the same if we were competing against Mount Union and other D3 programs at 1/10th the cost. Figure out how to let soccer and basketball compete at a higher level without pretending we can compete in football.

Thank you for your analysis comrade. Do you really think that someone making $200k is wealthy? Lol -

It's a long story. We have a great team already. Enjoy the upcoming season. -
Don't count your chicken's just yet. Still a bunch of paperwork to be approved.

Pretty sure there is a dead period right now for contracts.

You have no clue what you are talking about. Have you ever even met any of the trustees? Your envy of anyone who is more accomplished than you clouds your judgement. Most of the trustees serve due to a sense of responsibility to their Alma Mater and community. The ones I know are way past needing a trustee position as some kind of stepping stone to some other position. They usually are well entrenched in the community through years of charitable and foundation work. The current trustees are in a difficult position trying to keep UA from bankruptcy and dissolution. It's a fine balancing act to try to keep all the shareholders(students, faculty, administrators and taxpayers) happy and still balance the budget.

The team is being supported by the Fear the Roo collective.

I've played a round with Ryan. He can really crush it off the tee. He grew up playing country club golf. He is a really good guy and a good coach. If he ever gets a break on the injury situation from his first 2 years I expect a MAC championship run.

They have been close friends for years. -
I think you are confusing the powers of the athletic director with those of the trustees and university president. Parking? Dorms? Paul Hammond retired after a long career. Anne Jorgensen did not work for the athletic department. When she retired, she was the director of student success. Those contract extensions are public record. Would have rather those coaches not be extended? The womens soccer program has been a disaster for at least 10 years. This coach was a winner everywhere she went prior to Akron. I guess she was guilty of trying too hard to turn the program around. Do I need to keep going? Football! Lol Btw, I really like your screen name. Very imaginative!

This post has so many holes in it, if it was a boat it would sink in 30 seconds. Either that or it is one of the all-time troll posts in ZN.o history!

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/
