Contract extension at Akron through 2026. Prior leading the Zips into the NCAA tournament this season, he had tournament appearances at both Ohio and Illinois.

He has figured out how to get to the Big Dance. Takes a certain mentality.

Groce MAC'S BB HC #1 Salary
Ohio's Boals is #2.

As we have seen in football, a coaches salary inside the MAC doesn't always lead to the promise land. Don't know paying TK more money will do the trick

Your financials say alot about your program including
the ability to attract higher level staff candidates. MAC as a FBS Conference is poor. Seems to be dropping even lower among G5's.

While I agree with you on that point, still Candle's salary hasn't pay off to being close to dominating the MAC in football.

Akron and Kent have crappy arenas, but it hasn't hurt their recruiting.
