Pretty clear this move would be extremely unpopular with the "academia" types
I think it is obvious that if Akron moves forward with Tressel that isn't the board's intent... Hiring Tressel would go with the crowd who believe the President is less about running the academics and more about acting like a visible showman for the University.
The biggest thing Tressel does for Akron is stir up interest from apathetic alumni. Many of those alums love Tressel because they support Ohio State. Getting those alumni interested in UA is what I view as the largest motive for the UA trustees pushing the Tressel move.
Tressel did not move to Akron for his current position. This is his goal. Based on the other moves the trustees at Akron have made the last decade, I think this thing might just happen.
