GoZips Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 "In comparison, the Big East splits $8 million. Rhoades still talks about a Big East breakup. When that happens, Akron will be waiting. Rhoades played a role when UTEP moved from WAC to C-USA, so he knows the process." Quote from Rasor's BlogGetting into to the soon to be revised Big East is very much on Akron's radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZippyRulz Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Highly ranked soccer, new football stadium, new fieldhouse already used for Big East track finals, solid hoops & getting better...the feathers in our cap are accumulating. Also ready-to-go regional rivalries w/Pitt, Cinci, WVU. Mostly need to work on academic reputation, basketball arena and lacrosse program.

Blue & Gold Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Add Louisville to the rivalries list, and also don't forget our new soccer stadium - which may be the most attractive soccer stadium in the nation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachTheZip Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 A few teams from the basketball league will move up. Some teams added mostly for market value (this is our best chance), and Memphis/ECU to add some more competitiveness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip Watcher Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Conventional discussions have held that if a split were to occur, the 8 1-A FB schools would go out hunting 4 more so that the new conference could have a lucrative championship game. So the 8 are known .. and they'd need 4 ..IF the split happens, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
