morris buttermaker Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 Tough days for a couple ex Zip ADs..... Quote
Sportsjunkie330 Posted November 10, 2015 Report Posted November 10, 2015 Does Akron have an AD? What's his name? I haven't seen anything from him at all. Whats up with that? Quote
ZippyRulz Posted November 10, 2015 Report Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) I'd take Mack back! I don't think Mack's in any kind of trouble. I don't know what M. Thomas's future prospects are but with a $2.5M buyout he doesn't have to stress too much. Edited November 10, 2015 by ZippyRulz Quote
skip-zip Posted November 10, 2015 Report Posted November 10, 2015 It's pretty unbelievable that 2 former Akron ADs were part of major news stories on the same day. Quote

morris buttermaker Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Posted November 10, 2015 I guess the way to get Gary Pinkel fired is to go on a hunger strike... seems pretty easy Quote
skip-zip Posted November 10, 2015 Report Posted November 10, 2015 I found it interesting that they'd put a big article in the Beacon today about Mike Thomas being removed, which makes NO mention of his time as the AD right here at home. Wouldn't that be the relevant connection, and maybe the only reason why you'd put an article about his removal in an Akron paper anyway? Why else would anyone in Akron care that an AD several states away was losing his job, except for the fact that so many people in Akron know him ? Quote

Captain Kangaroo Posted September 8, 2016 Report Posted September 8, 2016 This former AD has moved back to Virginia. Quote

Talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire! NASCAR is in a death spiral. They are one of the few sporting events that has more empty seats than Zips football. Quote
Dr Z Posted February 8, 2017 Report Posted February 8, 2017 Thomas to CSU Cleveland State will announce later today that Mike Thomas has been hired as the school's new director of athletics, following official approval by the board of trustees, according to multiple sources and reports. Quote

Way more than I care to read about Thomas if anyone is interested. http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20170209/BLOGS06/170209783/mike-thomas-knows-hell-have-to-do-more-with-less-at-cleveland-state?utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social Quote
