They could make a killing selling jerseys. NIL money for players, revenue for the university, free advertising when people wear them around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's a whole other discussion. I've always been frustrated they don't sell jerseys. My only guess is that Nike probably doesn't think it's worth it to produce replicas for smaller schools? The only Zips jerseys I own are game worn ones I found on eBay. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only jerseys I own are a game worn Bruce Weinkein jersey and the Zips #1 jersey they gave out at a game during the Treadwell years. Would love to see more Akron gear, especially jerseys. And these jerseys are slick. Love the clean A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a “shirsey” would be awesome, and honestly a lot more affordable and practical for most fans. Again, no reason not to! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, no reason not to! Based on what is sold in the team shop, I really don't know if "affordable" is in Akron's merch vocabulary. However, I do agree with a Shersey being a good alternative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Sun Belt is kind of meh, but this is a better step for scheduling going forward. I hope there's some sort of method to matching up similar caliber teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 I think there are a bunch of intriguing matchups vs. the SunBelt. I'm happy about this & think it's a great move by both conferences! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 LOVE THIS! FINALLY A MID MAJOR CONFERENCE CHALLENGE! Here are the Sun Belt members... App State Arkansas State Coastal Carolina Georgia Southern Georgia State James Madison Louisiana Marshall Old Dominion South Alabama Southern Miss Texas State Troy ULM While the Sun Belt has a better track record on the gridiron, their growth has also created more appeal on the hardwood. We're all familiar with the Blundering Turds. Georgia State, IIRC, played Gonzaga tough in the Tourney last year. The conference added Old Dominion this year, which used to be a CAA powerhouse (VCU, ODU, George Mason, etc.) before going to CUSA and now the Sun Belt. The Sun Belt, I believe, has the 2nd largest mid-major conference media contract, behind only the MAC. This was prior to their expansion and additional success in football. The Sun Belt will most likely overtake the MAC during the next media deal negotiations, and should only see an increase in athletic success. This is a good conference challenge for the MAC, as the MAC's top basketball schools should beat the Sun Belt's best basketball schools, but the middle and lower tier schools will be very evenly matched.

I hope there's some sort of method to matching up similar caliber teams. I wonder if that February matchup would be similar to bracket busters where they try to match up similar ranked teams? Both conferences should have some good teams near the top, but really lack the depth needed for any team to have much of a chance of building an at-large resume. Assuming a MAC team or Sun Belt team is close to being on the cusp of an at-large, getting a top 50-60 win against another similar caliber opponent would certainly help provide a boost. Obviously what the MAC has been doing hasn't been working as it's been 20+ years since our last at-large. It's nice seeing we're trying something different.

LZIp Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Wonder if this means our annual game with Marshall is now off the table since there would be a chance we play them twice in OOC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be fine with me as long as we replace it with someone like a SDSU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw them on the football schedule instead. Give me some OVC/MVC/A10/CUSA squads instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
