Honestly any money we would save dropping to FCS is probably negated by lost revenue. Non-scholaship FCS or D2 would probably be where things would start making mathematical sense.

If we just wait a few more years, G5 may have it's own division below FBS. By doing so, we can save a good MBB program and very good soccer program.

We simply can't be this bad in Year 4 😞

How good should one of the most under resourced programs be?  Seriously, I think that's an interesting question. Losing is one thing. A program completely devoid of any entertainment value is something completely different.

Not about 'saving money' after lierally decades of this. They have to play at a level where they can be consistently competitive. Now they are not.

Wherever they can be competitive. Think they could compete against the S.Dakota, N.Dakota and Montana teams among others, in FCS? Personally I would question that also.

You're right, it's not about the money. The central question is whether or not they want to be in the MAC. If that answer is no, it puts a lot of pressure on other programs that are performing well. The other question is, who would want Akron and why?

 

If the answer is yes, they need to figure out how to get more competitive in 2026 and beyond.

And with our best players leaving via the TP every year what else should we expect?  With the current state of college football I think the best we can hope for is the possibility of catching lightning in a bottle once in a while.
