It's unfortunate to lose some of these talented players but you have to remember that just about everyone on Akron's roster would start at 90% of the colleges in America. I wish them well.
Could you imagine an Akron JV team against other team's starters?

It sounds like ODU is still weighing the move to FBS period.
The interesting thing to me in this article is that C-USA apparently wants 16 teams in the end. They have 13 without ODU. MTSU is supposedly under consideration. Is UA?
I hope not. CUSA sucks.
-
so ODU is not heading to CUSA, time for the MAC to make a move for both ODU and JMU. Those that think the drive is too long need to take a look at our softball and baseball schedules.

Thank you Bobby! I've been wanting to do that for a few years, believe me. My fear was that either it would take numbers away from the Zn.o, or it might have fewer followers than say the hated Whosers' Bigsoccer thread!
if anything, it could bring people from there here. We have a really decent soccer board here.

And now the countdown begins....if my math is correct there are 113 days until the home opener. Thank goodness for the PDL games until mid July
no PDL games in Akron
Parma has an NPSL team, AFC Cleveland, without any Akron players. I might head up to Parma for a game or 2.

Hilarious! "We've got soccer tennis and cornhole". Wow! Just like Wake island.
it looked like regular cornhole but it got me thinking about a way you could play soccer cornhole. If you take a small trampoline and put a hole in the middle, you could play something similar to cornhole?

found this on facebook. Tressel was at Springfest. BTW, should this be in the football thread or General Campus?

Bigsoccer updated their site, here's the new link for easy access to the Akron thread http://www.bigsoccer.com/community/threads...thread.1929196/ I also edited it at the top of this thread as well.

I believe WakeMed Soccer Park (Cary, NC) only holds 7,000
Park Features
* Lighted stadium field, two lighted practice fields & five additional fields
* Permanent stadium seating for 7,000 with expansion capability
* Concessions, locker rooms, rest rooms and meeting space
* Outstanding cross country course with 5K, 6K and 8K marked courses (adaptable to other distances)
* 2,600 parking spaces
Perhaps it was 10,000 with standing room
Not sure what First Energy stadium seats, but I'd guess around 2,500. With standing room, we packed 5,200 in there but I don't think the NCAA would be interested in that.

I hear there will be Thirsty Dog, Hoppin Frog & Ohio Brewing on tap!
Fred wont keg his beers so it's unlikely we'll see Hoppin Frog. I'd be shocked if they offer craft beer.
-
Do pigs fly in your world? haha I mean I love the Zips as much as anyone but I don't think ESPN will ever do a College Soccer Gameday, nor do I think anyone would want to watch that
that attitude is garbage. You need some Les Brown in your life
-
That video is truly unbelievable! 500 people?
we need to get them tailgating with us for Zips games. Did you see the soccer tennis?? We need to step up our game this year.
-
the focus should now be on bringing JMU to the MAC. Come on MAC officials, make it happen!!!

I would really appreciate it if someone could find Akron's actual attendance numbers. I remember having an argument with a few people on here last year about soccer outdrawing the football team in attendance. There were football games that had less than 1,000 people in 2011 so I have a feeling I was right.
-
The non-revenue MAC sports already travel all over the nation, I can't imagine the travel costs incurred from adding ODU and JMU would be a problem. Don't understand how anyone could be against this
-
I agree 100%. ODU and JMU have comprehensive athletics programs and solid academics. They would be natural in-state rivals and add VA to the MAC footprint.
I'd also like to see UMass and Temple dropped entirely if they refuse to be full members of the MAC. The commissioner needs to let it be known that the MAC is not to be used as an intermediary or stepping stone to another conference.
ODU and JMU both have very good soccer and basketball programs.
I agree with dropping UMass as a MAC affiliate but that's sorta hypocritical of me because I like having WVU as a MAC affiliate as well.
-
A TV deal or better streaming quality, and the addition of either ODU or JMU for all sports is all I want from the MAC right now.
-
the biggest blow to the MLS and my fantasy team is Thierry Henry's injury. He was off to an amazing start.

Can those of you who are Major MLS fans give us a review of this season's national television coverage? I have been able to watch only one game this season (Philly Union v DC United on the NBCS Net) and was forced to overcome the play-by-play accent of another limey in American soccer. I have nothing specific against the English or British islanders, I just wish US television execs didn't have the belief that so many British accents made the game more "authentic". So, don't ask me about the PA announcer in Seattle! Is it true that MLS is no longer broadcast on FSN? If so, that's a real tragedy.
Fox broadcasted an EPL game on the main national channel during the MLS Cup. It's odd because it's extremely rare for them to broadcast a soccer game on their national channel. I assume the reason Fox did this is because they weren't happy the MLS Cup was being broadcasted on ESPN.
The MLS made the right move with NBC. Fox treated the MLS like a 2nd rate league, NBC treats the MLS with a lot more respect and do a better job covering the games than anyone else.
It seems each team have their own announcers and I think only 3 or 4 teams have an announcer with a UK accent. I have Matchday Live and I love it. It's only $50 and well worth it. There's a thread on Zipsnation with a coupon code in it. I also posted a few things in this thread about the MLS's progress this year
-
we can now start speculating about the starting roster, we'll need a thread for that. Mevis started the 2nd half I think.
-
Dang, so that means Boise State will be playing east coast teams for no reason now.
it comes down to the TV deal now.
-
with the AQ status gone, can we ditch the idea of joining the Big East and focus on making the MAC a better conference?
Adding ODU or James Madison to the MAC would help basketball and soccer.
