I think this is pretty common. It's probably a timing thing. Like most schools, Akron probably uses a marketing company to develop campaigns and having one ready directly after the season probably isn't enough time. In addition, it's hard to know who you are going to market if the coach leaves and half of the players.

Wake Forest single game sales started today. One other thing. Do NOT buy tickets on the Akron side. The game will start in the early evening when the sun stays out longer. The seats are black and get sun all day. It is brutally hot on the visitors side. I sit in section 6. Even high up seats are a very good view. Edit: Further warning about the heat. If you look up a map of Wake parking options, there is a place called "Construction Zone" which traded large parts of the Blue and Orange lots for a mixed use development. This change has left fans with few options that include shade. It's going to be really hot on the asphalt parking lots. If you want any chance at shade and want to buy a parking pass, what's left of the Blue and Orange lots offer some shade. If you don't do well in the heat, go have dinner and drinks somewhere before going to the game. There is very little traffic so don't worry about spending a long time in traffic.

Eliminate conference tournaments. Regular season winners get automatic bids. Let AI decide who gets in after that. Watching AI decide will be about as exciting as watching the P4 tournaments.

They love college sports. It is allowing them to get rich at the cost of destroying their employers institutions. It's not what they hate, it's who they hate. They hate fans of college athletics. They have made what used to be a simple trip to a game an all day affair that is way too expensive and time consuming.

My charitable giving is an investment in people and I want nothing in return except for a young person from my home town to get the same, great education I did. My personal financial investments are an investment in things and I want money in return.

I donate every year and have a named scholarship in my parents name. I expect nothing in return. It's not an investment. It's a charity.

I guess if you want to bring in students who think bouncy houses are cool, Kent is your place.

What if the children only care about the bouncy house and not the football?

I'm all for involving the community as long as the community benefits. How does the community benefit from bad football?

It looked almost completely empty. Spring games are bad football. I don't see how exposing people to bad football will make them want to come back for more.

They are saving some of you from yourselves. Find something more interesting to do. It shouldn't be hard.

I once took a whiz next to Kobe Bryant in the Ritz Carlton in uptown Charlotte.

Politicians talk about the NCAA, I guess we have to talk about it. God, I hate doing this, but here it goes. First, executive orders like this aren't small government Republicanism. It's the government sticking it's nose in where it doesn't belong. Executive Orders are pure laziness. It's more of the same buffoonery Americans have been watching for around 11 years. Most are exhausted with him and the polls show it. Like building a wall, staying out of foreign wars, releasing the Epstein Files, and any of the large number of things he said he would do, he won't do it. He won't do it because he can't do it by himself and is not willing to put in the work to get things done. He's not an authoritarian. He's not a small government Republican. He's not a Nazi. He's not a Fascist. All of those things take hard work. He's just a lazy, buffoonish, reality TV star sitting around putting together Truth Social posts. I don't really worry about him because I don't think he has the will to actually do anything. I do laugh AT him. He's a silly old man. I was born in 1969. I can't believe in my life the Republicans have gone from a competent giant surrounded by other competent people in Reagan, to a buffoonish clown surrounded by Fox News personalities, nihilists, conspiracy theorists and general crackpots. Here is your daily dose of an example. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/us/fema-gregg-phillips-waffle-house-teleportation.html. The only thing that could make the NCAA worse is this group of clowns trying to solve a problem they don't really want to or are willing to put the work into solving.
