Hilltopper

The country went through a period of thought that everyone would need some level of higher education to succeed. After the recession of 2008 and the resulting high unempyment rates, Obama really ran with this idea and expanded federal funding for loans and grants. Colleges like Akron saw big increases in enrollment and responded. Eventually the government funding dried up and the bubble burst.

Bill and Mary Skeeles have made another generous donation to Zips Baseball. $1.3 million will fully fund scholarships to the max level allowed. https://gozips.com/news/2024/6/4/william-and-mary-skeeles-fund-university-of-akron-baseball-scholarships-with-1-3-million-gift

Not likely

The NBA is mostly position less today.

Guthrie just signed a contract extension that keeps him here until 2028. He has a great working relationship with the BoT. Nemer is also a sports guy with a good understanding of what athletics adds to the university. Btw, John Groce and Jared Embick also got extentions. None of our key guys are entering the transfer portal!😉

She sucks so bad that she was selected as the top coach. If a couple of the girls who transferred out had given her a chance, we would have won the womens title too. You should be more worried about her getting hired away from the Zips.

Don't look now, but it appears we will win the Men's Championship.

The seats that were behind the baskets have been cannibalize for parts to replace/repair other seats. There are no replacements manufactured any longer.

I do have some WVA roots, but my moniker harkens back to the days when Akronites reffered to UA as Hilltop High. After you graduated from highschool you went to 13th grade at Buchtel College on the hill.

He had his chance. Time to move on.

Finley is legit. Hopefully we figure out a way to keep him healthy until the MAC games start.

Huggins told Dennison to not name him head coach. Peggy Elliot insisted because of diversity. Super nice guy but a lousy head coach.

It is.

I would like a guy like this https://goldengrizzlies.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/jack-gohlke/9980

FYI, this Saturday will not be a game in the traditional spring variety. It will be a controlled practice. There will be no type of scores kept. No blue team vs gold team.

Zips need a 3pt assassin/spot up shooter.

Keep your pencil sharp.

Looks like a perfect fit.

Other tidbits; Our new practice facility and NBA quality locker room are the best in the MAC and rival most P5 programs. What our staff brings to the table in terms of player development and a winning culture makes Akron an attractive landing spot for players wishing to take the next step. John Groce is highly admired by his peers. It is worth the time to listen.

There are good things coming to Baseball. Rome wasn't built in a day. We just need to stay the course.

To the people on here complaining about the amount of money raised by MBB on the day of giving, I will say the following. You can be part of the problem or you can be part of the solution. Every donation, no matter how big or small will help further the program. Put your money where your mouth is.
