Remember that time Cardale Jones joked he was transferring to Akron? As it turns out, it may be the best thing to happen to the Zips this year.

From Rick Armon of Ohio.com:

The attendance at University of Akron home football games wasn’t just bad last year, it was the worst among all 125 NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision teams.

The Zips, who play at 30,000-seat InfoCision Stadium, reported drawing a total of 55,019 fans for six games, according to data the NCAA recently released.

It was the lowest number reported by the university since 2005, when the team attracted 54,464 and played at the decrepit, off-campus Rubber Bowl.

Looks like the natives are getting restless with Terry Bowden's regime.
