Because MWC's media deal is worth more than double the MAC's, and the AAC's media deal is worth almost 5x the MAC's. FY 2019 Media Revenue: AAC $43,988,700 Up from 2018 22M and 2017 21M MWC $19,853,461 Up from 2018 14M and 2017 13M CUSA $6,440,156 Down from 2018 4M and up from 2017 3M SBC $3,920,523 Up from 2018 1M* MAC $9,186,590 Up from 2018 8M, but down from 2017 8M Not to mention competition level is a step up in those two conferences.

I'm not sure how much these numbers have changed since 2019, but I'm struggling to see any advantage to moving among CUSA/SWAC/MAC. The goal for any G5 should always be to get to the AAC, or even the MWC depending on location. Otherwise it's a lateral/backwards move. FY 2019 Total Revenue: AAC $111,278,729 Up from 2018 73M and 2017 77M MWC $59,467,622 Up from 2018 57M and 2017 54M CUSA $40,861,629 Down from 2018 44M and 2017 38M SBC $33,072,881 Up from 2018 27M * MAC $32,241,698 Up from 2018 30M, but down from 2017 30M. FY 2019 Media Revenue: AAC $43,988,700 Up from 2018 22M and 2017 21M MWC $19,853,461 Up from 2018 14M and 2017 13M CUSA $6,440,156 Down from 2018 4M and up from 2017 3M SBC $3,920,523 Up from 2018 1M* MAC $9,186,590 Up from 2018 8M, but down from 2017 8M

This is a wild story. The Big 12 schools joining the SEC aren't leaving for a couple of years. Why are Marshall/ODU/Southern Miss bolting so quickly?

Wouldn't be upset if I never saw Ali, X, and Trimble in an Akron uniform again. How dare you waste Freeman & Aziz with your laziness.

Don't mind this one. This is a huge possession.

McMillan is an idiot.

I've never seen a team lose concentration so often when trying to catch/gather the ball.

Nope. Just a down year with no killer guards.

Double Double for Freeman. The guy is a machine.

I think we should replace him with Evan Wilson. Maybe Evan can score.

Bigs are dominating. We're a DII team offensively minus Freeman.

Aziz is having his best game as a Zip. Watching him and Freeman grow together is fun.

He's not mentally in it all the time.

Nope. Never. Go in timeout (which for you is enjoying 80 degree weather on the beach...).

Directional Michigans blow. Come onnnnn football. Carry us into a new conference.

I'll say this. If you setup a tailgate, I'll be there. Let me know what beer/meat you want, and I'll bring some. I think tailgating for a Spring Game would go a long way to show the excitement and enthusiasm for the program under Moorhead.

I would imagine the Spring Game is one of the most attended in program history.

I hear ya. I just see quick passes exposing our slower perimeter defense, forcing one of our bigs to guard more 1-on-1 away from the paint.

I don't think our perimeter defense is strong enough to execute a 3-2 zone. Aziz & Freeman would be put in positions to get into early foul trouble I fear.

Groce probably believes in him, but he has to play him. He has no other 3 pt options. Jesus Take the Wheel situation.

1) It's more like #16 at the WM Open. 2) That's simply called "sending them home." Ironically, KSUcks people live there as well.

This is all very exciting information. Thank you for sharing. Regarding the bold part, was there any explanation given or details as to why he's confident the Transfer Portal will be favorable to Akron? Is it due to all of the P5 connections/backgrounds on the staff, his system, or all-but-guaranteed playing time?

https://247sports.com/player/seny-ndiaye-46093879/ @Blue & Gold thinks he saw Seny at the KSUcks game.

Not to mention, given the experience on the coaching staff, it's hard to imagine our staff hasn't had previous contact with some if not all of the above at some point. It's not unfathomable to think we could land one of these guys if we wanted to. I definitely think we'll be adding a transfer QB soon enough, just a matter of who & when, not if.
