Here's what's going to happen to us: https://www.bobcatattack.com/messageboard/topic.asp?FromPage=1&ForumPID=6&PID=300106

So who can name the 6 colleges that are being eliminated? UA Reorganization for $1000 please, Alex...

We couldn't be cutting more than 1 or 2 sports and still be div. I amirite?

The largest would be a reformed Buchtel College of Arts and Sciences, which would have the LeBron James Family Foundation College of Education becoming a school within the Buchtel college. The other four colleges would be the School of Law, the College of Business Administration, the College of Engineering and Technology and Health and Human Services.

Redesigning The University of Akron: May 4, 2020 Update Upshot - the big benefit of the 5 college model is lower admin costs and a more collaborative and interdisciplinary approach to edumacation.

1. Buchtel College of Arts and Sciences (the heart and soul) 2. College of Polymer Science (the other heart and soul and patent driver) 3. College of Engineering, Technology and Health Sciences (indispensable) 4. College of Business and Law (another strong suit) 5. College of Performing Arts (dance, music, media, etc.) College of Education is ceded to the historical teacher-training schools and Ohio's smaller colleges. Refund LeBron's COE donation and hope he redirects it.

Interesting. Track and field is actually more at 12.6 (combined with cross country).

Are we currently providing full athletic scholarships to all the soccer players?

Who? Shouldn't they stick to writing about the Cleveland scene and CSU football?

It would be interesting to see the isolated financials of the soccer program. There is some revenue from tickets but no TV and no major buy games. The team size is large and has to travel farther and wider since there are fewer teams within the regular MAC footprint. Talk about a painful cut -- it would be, but in budget cost saving terms it has to be on the table.

What's in it for Toledo? We can't afford to pay them enough.

How so?

Can someone remind me, did the outdoor track ever get fixed up? If not, that would be a factor.

How does the campus footprint get smaller? What can they sell off? Maybe Gojo with their increased product demand will get bigger and buy the polsky building(??) I'm also not sure what college they could cut and how that saves money since you would further decrease enrollment.

I still have quite a few game programs and a few buttons and patches etc. I just recently tossed my rubber bowl 50 year anniversary metal tray since it was getting badly corroded. I also kept my Frye for Heisman yard sign for a long time until moving recently. I always thought it would be cool to have a zips clubhouse somewhere for watch parties and as a repository for souvenirs, zips media archives, etc.

fifm: The MAC should just ban Centers since there aren't enough to go around and they're not needed.

The MAC should just ban Centers since there aren't enough to go around ?

If we're lucky ?

How far from the bend of the elbow does the egg have to be? It seems like most people could do this(?)

Maybe they should release the bracket and let the teams duke it out on Xbox sequestered in their rooms. Just spitballing here..
