Maybe we could carve out a better path for ourselves. The three schools you mention are on the verge of becoming some of the of the most irrelevant schools in the Big 12 and P5. Think Vandy.

This all looks very convoluted, because it is. I think what is happening is much more simple. The P5 schools are going to dominate whatever playoff they create, smaller schools will create a number of illusions for themselves and it will destroy the regular season like it has in college basketball. The people who run college football won't care because it will add up to more money. The steps after that will be to consolidate money within the P5 schools and give the boot to the rest of the schools. Eventually, G5 schools will be forced to start their own division. They should avoid the ultimate embarrassment and do it now.

The PAC12 is done. I forgot about the AAC. That's all you need to know about that conference. The ACC isn't going to do anything. FSU's posturing in recent weeks is laughable. They overestimate their importance in college football. FSU would get killed in the SEC. The ACC should bring in WVU.

No. His solution is much more predictable.

Colin Cowherd just gave the most common and laziest reason for solving the problems in college football. Anyone want to guess? First one to get it right gets, absolutely nothing.

All of this is temporary until the P5 schools only play each other in their own division.

4-8 would be underperforming. 5-7 would meet expectations. 6-6 would exceed expectations but not out of the world of reality. 7-5 would almost be a miracle, but an early season win against Temple could gain enough moment to make it possible. 8-4. No way. Temple is a very important game for the season.

On the bright side, it's more than you could say about anything at the Rubber Bowl.

No. Just stale air.

It smelled like mold.

Good app. Simple and let's me see only what I care about.

I'm in Akron for a day/night for business today. Walked campus and went to the bookstore. Campus looks good. I like the new logo on the merchandise I bought at the bookstore.

It's interesting how mistakenly we remember things. I was thinking of the Zips victory against them and thought NW probably had a bad season. In fact, they went 8-5 that year, won the Big Ten West and played in the conference championship. In fact, Akron beat a really good team.

In the Snow Bowl of 1987, you wouldn't have seen the field.

I don't think many schools are looking for players who contributed to a 1 win season. NW built a palace of a practice facility on Lake Michigan and it's probably the nicest in the country. Yes, the nicest in the country. They will get players. When I first heard this story I doubted Fitz would be involved. Looks like I was wrong. It's extremely hard to win at NE and he won a lot. Probably the best Big 10 coach during his time there. Anyone can win at places like OSU and Michigan. They are football factories. NW is a school for dorks.

I'm hoping this horrible trend is over across college football and we donated the white helmets to a needy high school. They look like the guards uniforms from The Longest Yard.

Road uni- White tops, white pants, gold helmet with the Z Home uni - same as road only with blue top. The jersey should always say Akron. The pants should always have the new logo on the side.

I've been to a game at uncc. Today, it's not even close to The Big Dialer. Maybe in the future, but not today. If you look closely, it's designed to have a second level at some point.

The University has done a good job of acquiring buildings for renovation, demolishing existing buildings and building on the lot, and expansion with new buildings. It's been a thoughtful balance. My brother knows a guy in Columbus who was recently hired by tosu to head up a much needed renovation program. With all of their expansion they have allowed their core buildings around the center of the campus to fall into a state of disrepair. It's going to be an expensive fix. It appears as if Akron has better managed their facilities program with better thought out solutions.

It's Hasenstab, not Hasenstad..... Does anyone fact check at the ABJ? In any event, Hasenstab has a really good reputation in the architectural world. They should do a good job.

If Akron goes 6-2 in conference, the City should paint the town blue and gold regardless of a conference championship or not. At worst they would have a seven win season and at best an eight win season. It is OU's for the taking if they choose to do so. If not, it will make the day after Thanksgiving game very interesting.

If Akron starts the season 6-3 and tanks the last 3 games, it would be disappointing. There is a good chance they would be in first place going into the final three, which would make a collapse even more disappointing. If they start 6-3, the expectation would be to win at least one of the final 3 games. I agree Temple is a huge game. Akron has a returning starting QB with one season and two spring practice seasons under his belt. It's now or never for him. Temple is a terrible program the Zips have beaten in the past. It's all there for the taking and the Zips need to step up this game. It indeed will set the tone for 2023.

"If we put a dome over it, at the cost of $40 million, those 50 people who show up for weeknight games in November will be dry and I can move on to destroy a bigger school using taxpayer money."

Not filling vacant positions and eliminating programs with little to no demand seems like a smart move.
