    Funny I saw some comments about Kent being a 14-15 and Will get throttled.   Guess they are missing the point that we aren't in the dance and they are as a #6 seed.   You think Akron could do that???   No way in h...........!!!

     

    Akron was the #6 seed in the 2011 MAC Tourney, won it (v #1 Kent), and went to the dance.

    I don't think you're full of crap Hip Zip, but you can have much of what you've described (in your 2nd paragraph) and a program that can win games in the NCAA Tourney at the same time. Similar to you, I have been in contact with many past and present Zips Mens soccer players and even some of their families through the years and also the head coach who is now in the pros.

     

    I'm not supporting a change in Mens Basketball coaching, which by the way is moot anyhow. I like KD. He's one of us (an Akron alum), a good coach, and a good man. I wish much that he could find a way to at least win 1 game in the NCAA D1 Mens BBall Tourney. I know he'd like to do that for us as much as we want it. As far as his going anywhere anytime soon...that would have to be because he wants to make the move. He's got a contract through 2023. No way UA can afford to make a change. Discussing this seems pointless to me.

    And talking about Zips Mens Soccer in any publication is a great recruiting tool. Crains Cleveland provided another outlet that UA seems to have let go by. It seems that the soccer world has been applauding our student-athletes turned pro and our program, but that the UA Athletic Dept, except Zips Mens Soccer, could not care less.

    My comment was meant along the lines that it seemed bizarre to me that men's soccer was not mentioned by Larry Williams. I would hope that our AD mentioned and is planning to broadcast men's soccer matches. My biggest problem is that our Ath Dept seems to take men's soccer for granted for some reason...don't want to appear they are favoring it? Think that it sells itself? I can say firsthand that Caleb Porter was frustrated when he left with the lack of marketing, and I have seen no sign of improvement with the new administrators.

    This spring, the Zips will broadcast some of their softball games, and Williams said they've tried to come up with a way to showcase their successful women's swimming program, but the length of the meets complicates live-streaming efforts.

     

     

    Men's and women's basketball are ESPN3 staples for the MAC. After that, each school can configure its broadcast schedule however it wants, as long as it reaches the 35-event minimum. This year, Bowling Green showed two men's and two women's soccer matches, and it produced volleyball broadcasts in each of the last two seasons.

     

     

    Incredible that we have the most successful Mens soccer team in the MAC, and BUGS is the school broadcasting soccer.
