Jim Tressel to Accept Job at The University of Akron

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
It not a huge deal if it's nothing athletic related.

It's too early to tell obviously, but I'd guess his role being non-athletic is temporary to keep the NCAA away. I could see him taking over as AD at some point. He'll have a major impact, I guarantee you that.
 
he's the vice president of strategic engagement starting 5/1 making a base salary of $200,000 a year
 
His first goal is to raise enough money to get a new arena. This is a HUGE hire for UA.

a new basketball arena would be nice, especially if they expand the seating in it to about 10,000. that could help the economy by getting music events and other events like wwe live events
 
My friend applied for this job. He works at a smaller university doing the same stuff and saw the job listing only to find out today that they created this position for Tressel.

Sorry for your friend, but it was brilliant by Akron. They were on SportsCenter all day today.
