Simply no ROI in the existing business case. How could they make it less emphasized? Seems almost impossible. What other MAC schools are getting a return on their football investments? At the most, zero. Sounds like we need new blood on the board with a better vision of how an athletic department benefits the athletes students alumni fans and general community around Akron.

Does it actually benefit the alumni and general community around Akron? I wouldn't trust any financial analysis that said it did further than I could wipe my own ass with it. The only ones it truly benefits is administrators to pad their resumes, and people with coaching/sports-fitness degrees because it keeps a lot of them employed. If it comes down to cutting teachers/professors or cutting coaches/sport-fitness folks ... the choice should be pretty clar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
