The bill for college football in Akron is about $4.8 million a season.

In Kent, it’s about $3.2 million.

 

Between the 2 guarantee games vs PSU and Bama this season, the MAC TV deal, and CFB playoff money alone no way Kent is losing money of football operations if those cost figures are accurate.

 

Between Akron's guarantee game vs. Wisconsin, MAC TV deal, and CFB playoff money Akron is bringing in something a little over 3 million. That doesn't include any ticket sales or sponsorship. If Akron is losing money on the day to day operations of football, it can't be much. The football stadium on the other hand is a sunk cost. They will have to continue paying on that if they cut the program or not.
