This never would have been upheld had Akron been bowl eligible. I guarantee the suits in the NCAA's legal department were sweating when Akron was making that comeback vs. Kent. Akron was low hanging fruit for the NCAA to flex its fake, tough-guy muscles one more time before they are completely rendered useless.

 

We'll never know but it remains a bad look that the Zips were the only one.  It was also time to stand up when it came down rather than essentially concede and push it back a year.

Wait... we're still going to be ineligible next year?

I’m pretty sure that was my takeaway when the news/numbers first came out. I believe they use some sort of rolling average and my thought at the time was we could get it up for next season, but we’d need close to a miracle.

 

Understand we have money concerns, but I agree with Clark the time to fight it would be been when it was first announced. One less practice a week is a big deal, especially when we might be looking at dealing with it for 3 years (last year, this year, and next year). That’s a lot of lost development.

It's a 4 year rolling average. I read up on it awhile ago and shared links to the website that lists all the APR scores when the news first broke. One of the years was laughably low and would make it near impossible to be compliant next season. I think that's the score that disappears at the end of next year.
