The vast majority of the students are Ohio residents. That means they are paying for the bonds and interest on the bonds.

The taxpayers of Ohio spent millions turning Akron from a commuter school to a campus where kids would live full time. My understanding is the dorms are full. If so, where are they falling?

I used to get mad at this until I realized the University is getting out of the football program exactly what it wants. The football program is merely a fundraising organization for the athletic department and they don't care about winning. Once I realized this, it made discussing the program a lot easier.

I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to be angry about. Maybe he's not dressed like a high school math teacher, but angry? He may not be Brad Pitt, but neither am I. Maybe slightly disappointed, but angry? I wish my life was so easy that something so meaningless made me angry.

Bill Belichick would disagree.

Let me know when the fundraising stops and the games start.

Doesn't it make more sense for the remaining Ohio public university system schools to make themselves more attractive to potential students? Artificial supply restrictions will drive up overall costs for attendance throughout the system making an already increasing societal problem in the form of student debt worse.

Nice job by the University. It's critically important for them to do these things.

Mary Jane must be wearing urine scented perfume.

This guy has been around more than one of the girls in the backroom of an old western saloon.

It's a blight. Casinos are the end result of public officials who are intellectually incapable of figuring out how to develop urban areas.

I happen to stay in downtown Cleveland this Friday night with Mrs. GP1, the luckiest woman in the world. We stayed at Hotel Cleveland next to Public Square. The hotel was great, but it's amazing how Cleveland took a great landmark like Public Square and is in the process of ruining it with that gross casino. I don't know what's worse, the visual of the blank face degenerate gamblers, the stench of body odor, the smell of urine, or all of the above. We took a walk Friday afternoon towards the baseball stadium and were outside by Harry Bullalo. The casino stench was so bad, we could smell it that far away. Two things can be true. Gambling should be legal and it's horrible for society. I can't possibly see what good that dump of a casino is doing for Cleveland.

So, I ended up at the bookstore and bought a nice Nike dry fit blue shirt. I had to laugh at the logo though. It was the Arby's A with the word AKRON under it. If your logo is so bad you have to describe what it is under it, you might not have the best logo.

I did have a brief moment of excitement when I saw the word Alabama. Then I saw the first word on the next line was State. In all seriousness, if the website has the final schedule, it's weak in a way that would make JD envious.

One man's small time is another mans paradise.

If you wanted to buy a Zips golf/polo shirt in NE Ohio and didn't want to go to campus, what is your advice for the best places? I want to buy something this afternoon so please post quickly.

I've been trying to like the new logo until this. It is Arby's A. I officially hate it.

I see a football program that is set up to fail in an effort to do little more than bringing in as much money as possible. They administration isn't trying to win.

Those were built a long time ago and a lot has changed since their construction.

I'm m not surprised. Their reasoning is completely nonsense. Innovative? If a company introduced what they believed was a innovative product into their market place and people ran away in droves, heads would roll. But then again, they do get a lot of calls from their friends when the games are on.

He was the right guy at the right time. He probably over spent some, but the University is better now than when I went to school and well positioned for the future. If I misremember this someone correct me. I think last year the dorms were full for the first time in a while. This is a good sign. These kids transition to off campus housing at some point and that is also a good thing as long as the dorms stay full. I'm very bullish on the future of the University and the City of Akron.

Very good. Thanks for posting. Their answers supporting MACtion range from nonsensical to complete BS. It has been horrible for the league. They think it's innovative? In what way? These people are morons. Am I the only one who noticed how few of their answers referenced their athletic departments benefiting the athletes students alumni fans and general communities around their schools? MAC athletic directors could give a flying poop about the schools they work for.

3-9, 4-8 tops. Until I see signs of life in the program, that's what I'm going with.

I think it's gross.
