Eloquently put. Haha!
I really like Larry Williams. He is one of the nicest, most genuine "big wigs" I've come across. I think he's making both the right decision for himself and the University. College athletics are in a horrible, HORRIBLE spot right now. The way the NCAA allowed the conferences to handle their own football seasons set the sport way back and killed a lot of interest with the casual fan. It was the perfect year to test an expansion of the Playoff, and they dropped the ball big time. Embarrassing. I would not want to be a G5 AD.
Larry didn't always make the best decisions in terms of the University, but he did bring us Groce, and for that I'm forever grateful. I agree with all previous posters who have stated that we need a scrappy up-and-coming person to really elevate the football program. They also need the right mix below them to market the hell out of Akron athletics. Our marketing B.L.O.W.S. Even our basketball Instagram page looks like the videos were taken with a 1st Generation iPhone, then uploaded using dial-up. Pathetic.
