Interesting that brew's list is all southern schools and Chris refers to the MAC. I read recentLy that Akron lost over $25M on sports last year. That amounted to over $1000 per student. They have seen an enrollment drop after spending a lot of money on capital improvements. They are in a hurt. I don't know what would happen to their if they dropped football. I wonder if one of the reasons Dambrot made the jump (and taking all his assistants) was because he read the writing on the wall. Supposedly he had turned down the job in the past.
