Renting InfoCision Stadium out to the OHSAA
Hilltopper replied to AkronAlumnus's topic in Akron Zips Football
Facilities that host OHSAA playoff games get a rental fee and are allowed to keep all parking and concessions sales. The rental fee is the same for any game regardless of division or size of the stadium. OHSAA even sets the price you can charge for parking. For UA, the costs to staff these games are significantly higher than the average high school hosting site. It is a real crapshoot for UA to host. It is not a sure bet that they make a profit. -
He didn't make the team.

Happened at the JAR. Not a pick up game. Pretty sure the incident is all on video.

My bad Zipgrad. It is sad to see any kids career end that way. -
Jake Fischer is no longer with the team.

Keeping up with the Three D's (Dambrot, Dru & Duquesne)
Hilltopper replied to dirtyolcrowe's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
Lets clear some things up. KD did offer Nance a scholarship but his dad encouraged him to go to Wyoming. Larry Shyatt was a mentor to Nance sr and he felt that would be the best place for his son. As fars as McCollum is concerned, it is true that there was not a scholarship available for him. KD is a very loyal guy. Until the recent madness surrounding the transfer portal he would never dream of pulling a scholarship just to give it to another recruit. -

Dr Miller spoke at the Varsity A Hall of Fame induction this morning. A synopsis of his speech would be the importance of D-1 athletics at UA. He was a D-1 athlete himself. I seriously doubt there will be any meaningful changes to the status of UA athletics under his governance. -

Kid is a good practice player but really has no chance at seeing the court outside of garbage time. Trust me. -

Yes Van Horne is a baseball alum. Of course he wasn't thrilled about the dropping of baseball. That had more to do with a pissing match between head coach at the time and the university president at the time than anything else. Matt Wilson and several of the trustees were the driving force behind the return of baseball not Van Horne. The large donation was solicited by another member of the athletics development department, not Van Horne. That employee is a former KSU baseball player to boot! That donation came in well after the restart of baseball. No argument that the university is in the midst of a budget crunch. You are way overestimating Van Hornes power. All the actions above where at the behest of other powers at UA.

You really have no clue.

Can't we add one of those captcha things to the forum so when new members sign up they have to prove they are not a robot?

DR is a solid player. What he lacks at the offensive end he makes up with defense and leadership. He also has an amazing motor. Never takes a possession off .This year we will have more offensive weapons. -

It is doubtful that either Ali or Edwards will be redshirts. Both have enough talent to see the floor during games. Remember that Edwards was originally a Buffalo commit. He is a prototypical Buffalo recruit, 6'6", long arms, fast and super athletic. After seeing Ali this week I was impressed with his size, athleticism and ability to handle the ball. You don't get quality players if you tell them you are going to redshirt them. -

Next time you visit don't worry about not having a parking permit. Odds are you won't get a ticket to begin with and if you do a quick call to parking services will result in the ticket being rescinded. Just tell them you are an alumni making a visit. Also there is no parking enforcement during the first 3 weeks of each semester and as long as the ticket you receive is your first there is no penalty anyways. Just a warning that the next ticket will result in a fine. -

He said he was there in late August on a Friday. School started on August 26th I believe. Students were already arriving on campus the week prior. The bookstore was open. -

All you had to do was go to the student union center. The bookstore carries the complete line of Zips gear. The are plenty of power outlets available and free wifi too. -

I had the opportunity to talk Zaire over the summer. Great kid. He is quite a physical specimen. Too bad things aren't working out. -
Reece is quite a physical specimen. Big chest and shoulders. Strong lower body. He looks to have quite a motor so far. A man among boys.

They might have to schedule a makeup field hockey game that day, so that might effect the number of fans that show up at Info. -
Usually suspensions like these have nothing to do with the coaching staff. Most likely violations of NCAA rules. That's why there is no information available.

Brad has family commitments that prevented him from continuing as the color guy.
