The 2023-24 Academic Progress Rate update just dropped today, and Akron’s multi-year rate is 914 this year, with a single year rate of 920. The requirement for postseason eligibility is 930. The NCAA stopped enforcing this for a few years during COVID, but started up again last year.

MVSU and UAPB are also ineligible at the FCS level, but that’s more common and happens every once in a while. An FBS team has not been declared academically ineligible for a bowl since Idaho (who later moved down to FCS) in 2014. Akron hasn’t made a bowl since 2017 (thanks for the fix, /u/Efficient_Desk7690), so this may not be a tremendous alteration to their plans, but still a drag to start the season without a chance at a bowl.
