Would love to hear your explanation for the critical nature of football for other sports at D1 programs.
Seems like a lot of ADs spend time creating obscure women's sports like rowing in order to comply with title 9 because they have football.
The next coach should
come directly from a P5 school,
have D1 head coaching experience,
have served as a successful recruiter at some point in his career,
have high expectations for his players,
have some previous association with the University of Akron,
and carry his game notes tucked in his pants – no wait.
I'm not sure what you were peeing in after climbing 97 stairs; as I recall the official troughs were under the seating area on the press box side of the stadium.

All of their newcomers have two legs; all of the Zip's newcomers have two legs.

etc.
Are you saying the attendees tended to be large people, or that there were lots of people in attendance?
What were both the official paid attendance and butts-in-seats number for the Zip's s home games so far?
I realize way too many teams (including the Zips) routinely achieve the 15,000 average attendance required to maintain D1status with smoke and mirrors, but I worry Akron doesn't have anyone with the magical skills needed to continue this charade much longer.
Yes, but that was against lowly Tulsa.
Now you're talking the Zips coming to town.
The scalpers are going to have a hay day as folks scramble to get their hands on tickets to watch the Battle of Ohio in person.
