I heard 6 members of the football team left sometime during last week. The source usually knows what he is talking about. Can anyone confirm it with the names? I'm sure this is the time that rumors run wild, but the iCoach has created this pathetic mess. I don't, for a minute, blame the fans.

The only one that has been openly confirmed is LeVon Morefield. But to hear more left is not surprising at all. I've been expecting it for a while. More will leave before it's over.

Ianello gets the full time, not split between another coach.

Ianello and Porter to Appear on Monday's Zips Live

Ahhh...classic, our model coach and our anti-coach all in one show. Let us hope it's split 70-30 in favor of soccer. I've heard some rumors "from very reliable sources" that Coach I has created some unfriendly situations with his fellow UA coaches, including Caleb and our #1 Mens soccer team. I wonder if animosity is detectable over the radio? I'll be listening.

Elton's column yesterday.

By the numbers: The 2010 Akron Zips (0-8, 0-4) aren't just in danger of an 0-fer season, but of affecting Akron teams for a few years to come.

The Zips began the season already under the NCAA peak scholarship roster limit of 85, and have had at least three scholarship defections since the season began. According to Zips officials, the overall roster now rests at 88, with 73 on scholarship and 64 scholarship players available for practice.

Any postseason defections, along with the 16 departing seniors, will cut roster limits even more, as a team is allowed to hand out a maximum 25 scholarships per season.

Mid-season grayshirts such as Cuyahoga Heights QB Zack D'Orazio will also cut into that 25 scholarship total. The Akron coaching staff will have to limit the number of postseason defections as best they can, or the Zips could be playing with a short-handed scholarship roster for a few more seasons.

73 players on scholarship, after the three known defections (I only know Bowers and Morefield for sure; who is the other one?). 16 seniors graduating. There will be a minimum of 28 scholarships available, assuming no more defections, but we can only hand out 25. There are 8 incoming freshmen, I think two greyshirts, and one incoming transfer.

Sounds like the ultimate challenge for a coach who has built his reputation on recruiting.

I bet we can steal some talent away from Malone and Walsh university

can we really steal some talent when no one is going to want to come here after hearing what's going on currently, with players leaving and all???
