    In any case, no I do not know if he interviewed or not. I also find it unfair to question his character or commitment to the team without more evidence that an interview happened from a more credible source.

    Lol let me get his exact whereabouts for the last week and check back
  3. zippy5
    Dre seems so sure this interview happened

    Sounds like you may just be better off not watching college athletics

    This may be sacrilegious but I think the best outcome would be combining Kent and UA

    I'm not really sure how I feel about it quite yet. You're worth whatever someone will pay you, right? I don't see many players really making meaningful dollars off of this. I mean maybe what, 10-15 are really nationally relevant year to year. Though then you can cross the line into "pay to play" if the rates get egregious.. Glad I'm not the one making the rules!

    Well I thought common sense would be for them to have the right to make money like the rest of us so I think we're on different wavelengths ?

    Very few of these guys are going to make enough off of their likeness to exceed the scholarship amount they are given. These kids aren't even allowed to work part time jobs, what's the big deal with them earning some extra cash on the side? I had academic scholarships, should I have forfeited those when I earned money from my part time job?

    Ah my bad. I just read the paragraph you quoted. Soccer ain't going anywhere
  10. zippy5
    To be fair he didn't say anything about ending Akron soccer
  11. zippy5
    Link?

    I'm thinking the latter and he's just letting them know he's got options. If hope the report is just wrong though. I'll wait until something more credible comes up to speculate

    Ummmm

    I don't see that having any effect really. When you schedule 7 years in advance you don't know which of those buckets you'll be in.
  15. zippy5
    I think that's what he was getting at

    I would love to get more of these teams on the regular schedule and have tournaments with a chance for an upset of a bigger name, but I can't complain about getting some solid games on the schedule. I like seeing how we stack up against the other respectable mid-majors

    Okay you're Toledo's AD - why would you play Akron every year? I think it's a great idea as evidenced by UNC and Wake last year. But.. what's in it for Toledo?
  19. zippy5
    Adding credence to an official rivalry with a 1-AA school is not a good look imo
  20. zippy5
    Perhaps Toledo doesn't want another cupcake on their schedule

    D2 would be a bigger savings, coaches salaries would decrease drastically, scholarship costs would be way down. But I just can't see a team in D2 with our facilities. Would be insanely out of place
  22. zippy5
    Serious but not serious. Break off from the NCAA with them and call ourselves the D2 of the new league below the P5 and have promotion/relegation. Not that they'd go for it. But hey
  23. zippy5
    I like it. That takes Gonzaga and Duke out of our path to a b-ball championship
  24. zippy5
    I think any real discussion on saving money would have to start with totally scrapping football or going non-scholarship FCS, which I can't see either happening. And if it did, I'd be done
  25. zippy5
    No. ?
