Shocking Academic Decline Forces Akron Football Out of Postseason—What Went Wrong Behind the Scenes?
Multiple teams were in jeopardy of losing the right to play in the postseason in the last few years, but the NCAA suspended APR penalties during the early 2020s due to COVID-19.
Akron has not played in a bowl game since 2017, but was seemingly improving year after year under head coach Joe Moorhead, who is entering his fourth season manning the sidelines for the Zips. After finishing with a 2-10 record in each of his first two seasons, Moorhead got Akron to a 4-8 mark last season. If he was able to replicate the same two-win improvement in 2025, his squad would have been headed to a bowl game.
