The landlords shouldn't work with anyone-- thats why they have you sign a lease. It protects the tenant and the landlord.-- it is business

In looking at the RPI top 100... shocked at how many schools have at some point won an NCAA tourney game.... time for this program to step up-- that is the next step they need to make

So disappointed ... Again

I disagree

Veruca Salt wants a downtown arena-- and she wants it now

...well, that does not seem like a good move

WWLD

Can we really be asked to believe this?... I do think he is a good choice-- except that I think he leaves asap when a better (Catholic or academic) school has an opening.

You have 5 yrs to play 4 regardless of your scholarship status.

3.0 HS GPA and 27 ACT, ortop 10 percent HS rank and 26 ACT, or3.5 HS GPA and 24 ACT.All are very modest... for example to be in the top 10% at a few HS is probably scary low, so essentially you need to just score a 26

Since APS students already qualify for free tuition at UofA if they meet certain (very modest) thresholds of GPA and testing, should we assume that LeBron's students will have a lower goal that of what is in place already

I don't see Larry Williams as a fit at all... and unless he needs to go to work asap, I don't see where a school like Akron is like anything he has ever been involved in as a student, athlete, parent, or employee.

Norwood Teague is available... probably could be had cheap too!

Maybe MAC football should be a spring sport......jk

Is that a typo?

Which is why the power teams will look to leave the NCAA

If the public (private sector) thinks running EJ is a good deal, someone will do it. Anyone who wants to put a management group together and take the risk/reward for all the great shows, step up-- here is the opportunity. I see the UofA just getting out from what it sees as bad business....more to come.

What-- no additional cuts in a yr or two?.. I'll keep my prediction

In looking at the condition of the University and range of cuts needed/ planned, I have to think more sports will be cut, and I would expect a salary roll back in a yr or two on some well paid coaches-- or across the board.

If they cut sports based on attendance or profit/loss, UA would need to drop them all

Lacrosse can be played/ competed at the D1 level without being fully funded.. meaning the max number of scholly's is 12.6... for a roster of 40? it is also a fairly inexpensive sport to sponsor... a school could compete with probably somewhere in the range of 6-8 and do fine. The prospect of attracting potential student athletes paying tuition is how the D3 model works.. and I think in certain sports can work at D1. Lacrosse is one of them--- but I don't see it happening for Akron. So, a potential athlete getting a 1/4 at PSU as an out of state student is better off being a 100% walk on at an in state school like Akron. (financially).

DIG- I have not looked at this-- and will. I must say, I feel fairly vindicated on all my doom and gloom posts.No one likes to hear bad/ negative news about the Zips programs, but it was coming at the University like a runaway train. Everyone who thought the next AD hire was easy or an attractive job (not me) sure is looking at it differently these last couple of weeks
