  Data suggest a move by the University of Akron from Division I status to Division II would be complicated and, ultimately, expensive. The Akron chapter of American Association of University Professors (Akron-AAUP) requested UA officials entertain such a proposition in a position paper released last week. As $65 million is culled from a budget of $325 million in the coming days, the professors union recommended that UA pursue more cuts to the athletics department, including moving to Division II or cutting football altogether. UA's athletic operating revenue totals more than $37 million, according to its annual report to the NCAA. Overall expenses for the year were $37 million, which included $26 million in direct institutional aid.

Much of the $11 million in revenue generated from actual sports teams comes courtesy of the football team through income from payments from away games and media rights from the Mid-American Conference's broadcast contract with ESPN ($1 million, according to reports) and its family of networks and the school's multimedia rights from Learfield IMG locally ($500,000). The athletics department already knows it will take a $4.4 million cut to its direct institutional aid, which contributed to the loss of three teams. The department is due to take more hits with the next round of cuts, which will be announced in the coming days. However, a move to change UA's division status could result in more financial strain because of existing contracts. - Akron Beacon Journal
