Could a game with Akron be in the works? To my knowledge, Willis and Bowden are still friends, among other UNA connections. Nebraska has announced they will play Bethune Cookman instead, leaving Akron with no game to replace the cancelled game with Nebraska. We need a game to play, maybe it's in the works....?

Milwee is also the offensive coordinator there. I spoke to his sister Anna the other day in the offices. She said AJ misses home some, so maybe it could happen. I bet Akron wants a game to get paid, we may be a last resort if they need to fill the schedule for qualified games?

Had a note from our AD when I heard Nebraska needed an opponent to fill the Akron void. This was part of his answer...We would not be an opponent that would help them become 'bowl' eligible. We (UNA) won't meet that criteria until year 3 of the transition. That said don’t know if a game with UNA would make sense for Akron.

I’m guessing some of their folks don’t feel this way YET, but I doubt Nebraska has to worry about bowl eligibility this year. Perhaps in a few more weeks they might agree to it? I’m not sure how much notice we really need. How good is Akron? Are they expected to compete in the MAC? Not really relevant, but after all this time I still can’t figure out Bowden going there. I’m happy he did, but he’s a southern guy. Just don’t understand why he didn’t pursue some low-level job around here instead.

And just like that, Michigan is up 39-0 over Nebraska, still in the 2nd quarter. Nebraska and Scott Frost have a LOOOONG way to go.
They may want to pick up that game with us to ensure they have a win this season. I mean, I think we could fight for a while, but we aren’t beating a P5 team this year.
Edit: And now I realize I’m a dummy, because the whole point of this thread is that Nebraska picked up Bethune-Cookman to play this year.
