We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

On a related note, Fitch just downgraded Akron's bonds. The analysis behind the decision is harsh but true: "The downgrade to 'A' is driven by larger than expected enrollment losses in fall 2021 totaling 9% of headcount and 11% of full-time equivalents (FTE), as well as expected reserve drawdowns in fiscal 2022. Continued enrollment losses, in context of challenging regional population and economic trends, will further pressure the university's revenues and will constrain financial performance. UA has managed expenses well through a period of steadily declining enrollment, but its relatively high debt burden and the increasing difficulty of further cost cuts will limit budget flexibility." https://www.fitchratings.com/research/us-public-finance/f...

Whatever they get, they deserve.

How does this differ for anyone else? Doesn't OHIO deserve its AD, coach, players and record? Doesn't the other school from Athens deserve to be ranked #1 with their perfect record?

It appears to me they have bigger issues to deal with. Back to Top .

As long as it wouldn't arrive with the debt load that it's carrying. http://www.facebook.com/mikejohnson.author Back to Top Recovering Journalist General User Member Since: 8/17/2010 Location: Cleveland, OH Post Count: 1,839 Status: Offline     RE: Akron just fired Tom Arth    Posted: 11/10/2021 12:01:46 PM  Yikes. They're paying at least $4.3 million a year through 2038!! for that empty stadium. I've seen more recent figures as high as $5 million a year, which seems possible given the lower bond rating. What a catastrophic error to build that thing. As rickety as Peden is, it's paid for and we should all be happy for that.
