    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
  8. zippy5
    To be fair he didn't say anything about ending Akron soccer

    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
  12. zippy5
    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.
  13. 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?
  17. zippy5
    Adding credence to an official rivalry with a 1-AA school is not a good look imo
  18. 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
  20. 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

    I like it. That takes Gonzaga and Duke out of our path to a b-ball championship
  22. 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
  23. zippy5
    No. ?
  24. zippy5
    I'm not arguing because I don't have all the numbers but my guess is that the savings from less scholarships is more than offset by the loss of fan/corporate support and TV revenue
  25. zippy5
    I'll ask again - what cost savings do we see by dropping to 1-AA?
