MangoZip Posted November 7 Report Share Posted November 7 My biggest takeaway was when he said it would be nice to have a training table. It was a subtle comment, but it clearly shows that this is a frustration to he and the team. Reminds me of his comment earlier this year when he spoke about the big payday from playing Ohio State and that the equestrian team would get new saddles - implying that the football team gets nothing extra from these big payday games. I still think there is no way that he gets fired but little jabs like this make me believe that he is frustrated and might just leave for greener OC power 5 pastures.

I'm not thinking he'll leave after this year, but he should be frustrated. I caught that comment too...no training table?! WTF. That feels like that should be a very basic necessity of any college program regardless of level. Comment on payday games is true too. If the football team is forced to sell its soul to help make budgets balance, they should be reaping some of the benefit. Unfortunately, it is not easy to win at Akron.

The HC has total control over his programs' budget. Sometimes there are tough decisions that are made that impact what money is spent on what items. He made his choices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the football team receiving any direct financial benefit from these excess guaranteed loss games or are they simply to help cover the cost of athletics as whole?

MangoZip Posted November 7 Report Share Posted November 7 I don’t think there’s any direct impact to the Football program. The money goes towards balancing the whole athletic budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
