Akron Football has not played in a bowl since 2017, and Zips will enter the 2025 season, knowing that the season will not be this year.
Acon could not meet the academic standards given by NCAA last season and fell below the 930 minimum academic progress rate of the organization. According to the statistics published by NCAA this week, the scoring was at the level of Division I in 914 and could not compete in a FBS bowl.
Falling below the 930 criterion can lead to penalties varying from the decrease in the application time to a bowl ban. If a program falls below 900, the section may lose its status.
After 2022-23 academic years, the acron received 925 points and lost 20 percent of the weekly application hours for 2024.
Being under the sign for two straight years, zipper can not compete in the Middle American Conference title.
With 1,000 score, the national champion Ohio State led the country in the rate of academic progress.
The acron is running by former Mississippi State head coach Joe Moorhead, a record of 8-28 in three seasons.
