Pretty sure he plead to lesser charges. Fines and probation.

Ali played with so much joy last night. That slow motion pick he set for Greg as he was bringing the ball up court was hilarious! The funny faces and hand gestures to the crowd were priceless.

Mike Bevan is doing a great job. https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/college/zips/2023/12/22/university-of-akron-zips-basketball-enrique-freeman-reagan-bass-john-groce-ryan-gensler-ncaa-mac/71998956007/

Shutting down the north exits was a mistake that lasted only a minute or two. Paul Hammond saw it and corrected the ushers immediately.

Angela is great at what she does. She is a UA College of Business graduate. Her dad is an Akron business/marketing icon. She is making her mark with the Cavs and RMFH. Thanks for helping Angela's bank account!

Keeping up with the Three D's (Dambrot, Dru & Duquesne)

It's been the plan for several years now. This is the last year on KD's contract. -
Hope they know what they are in for. This guy is trouble.

Pluto article on the NCAA today
Hilltopper replied to Captain Kangaroo's topic in Akron Zips Football
I would bet it might look more like professional soccer. P5 and P5 lite. The lesser P5 teams would serve as cannon fodder for the upper P5 programs. Maybe some sort of relagation system for the P5 lite programs to move up and down if they perform well enough. That way the big guys keep all the money. The G5 will become glorified FCS. -

For some reason links to Twitter/X are not working today.

I have letter to my father from one of his highschool classmates in the early 1950's. The friend was bemoaning the fact that the University of Tennessee (where he was an all american football player) basketball coach wanted him to play that sport too. The problem.was they only wanted to pay him half of what the football team was paying for his services. ðŸ«

Matt is a great guy. He always puts his money where his mouth is. Anybody here interested in doing the same? Send me PM and I will tell you how to make that happen.

No loss here. The guy was not worth the bad attitude.

What are your organs worth? An average QB probably is anout $50k/season.

It was his t-shirt cannon moment.

The NCAA opened the gate to allow transfers. They need to stop picking who can pass through.

Akron to play Ohio State to open the 2024 season
Hilltopper replied to LZIp's topic in Akron Zips Football
https://570wkbn.iheart.com/content/2022-11-04-the-attendance-at-fcs-football-games-and-ysu/ "Did we build FCS stadiums too large? At one time they were right sized for Youngstown State. It was common to see 20 thousand turn out for a Penguin game. In this day and age 12,000 is a good crowd and that has not happened much this year. Saturday 65 and sunny was poorly attended. Despite some of the best facilities in division one football, the fans are not turning out. Youngstown has a complete indoor practice facility, convenient athletic quarters, and top-notch competition in the Missouri Valley conference, but the fans want to see Ohio State and Penn State. " Same problems as us. There is no rabid fan base clamoring for a match-up between UA and YSU. -
He needs 8 credits in the spring semester to graduate. He is already carrying a full class load this semester.

Akron to play Ohio State to open the 2024 season
Hilltopper replied to LZIp's topic in Akron Zips Football
There is absolutely no upside in playing YSU. Anybody who thinks it's a no-brainer is brainless. The miniscule jump in attendance it might provide is not worth giving a regional lower level school a chance for bragging rights. -
Akron to play Ohio State to open the 2024 season
Hilltopper replied to LZIp's topic in Akron Zips Football
From a Facebook post about the Rubberbowl. Don Buckey is a local HS legend. He and his brother Dave stared at Kenmore and later at NC St in the late 60's early 70's. What he said holds true today. -

Sometimes sacrifices must be made in the short term to get where you want to be in life. Short of finding some other donors like Matt Kaulig, this is the only way to get the funds needed. Akron is not exactly brimming with deep pocketed corporate donors. Dr Miller has spent his entire tenure trying to get the finances of UA under control. He has made significant progress with more to come. Guthrie has done the same in the athletic department. Change in large entities is hard and sometimes people don't like the changes. See the complaints on here about paying for parking or the menu at the club level. Sometimes, you can't have your cake and eat it too!
