We're extremely proud of the academic progress our football student-athletes have made. Great job gentlemen!
Thank you to our academic staff, faculty, and coaches that took “extreme ownership” and resolved to fix this situation.
We all want to specifically recognize the folks who most put their blood, sweat, and tears into this revitalization effort.
- Jackie Wallgren
- Marc Smith
- Treymaine Danzy
- Jane Uecker
- Matt Juravich
From the bottom of our collective hearts. THANK YOU!
YES!! We did it, now, let’s continue to “Make The Climb” & Trust the best is yet to come for the University of Akron Zips!
Source: Akron has received a waiver from the NCAA that will allow the football program to be eligible for the football postseason next year. Akron was ineligible last year because of the program’s multi-year APR score.
Folks, nobody and I mean, nobody can tell us who we are and set a limit on what we can accomplish as @AkronZips
It is true, we have some growing left to do. Trust that we are being very intentional in our efforts to elevate our programs.
When we all work together as a unified community, we can make things happen here that no one ever thought possible.
Trust that the best is yet to come!
Join us and #MakeTheClimb, you will be glad you did. 👍
Leading the way! 📈
