    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Cathy Bongiovi [[email protected] / 330-972-6106] January 22, 2015 FOR TRANSACTIONS: University of Akron named Darrell Funk as an assistant football coach. Funk Joins Akron Football Staff AKRON, Ohio — Darrell Funk, a 28-year veteran of collegiate coaching, has been named an assistant football coach at the University of Akron, head coach Terry Bowden announced on Thursday. Funk will serve as the offensive line coach and offensive run game coordinator. His hiring is pending approval by the University's Board of Trustees. “I am extremely excited to have Darrell join our staff here at the University of Akron,” Bowden said. “He is one of the top offensive line coaches in the country and will add a wealth of experience to our staff. Just as importantly, Darrell is a man of high character, and he will fit in nicely with the family atmosphere that we believe in here at Akron." “I’m excited for the opportunity to join Coach Bowden and the staff at Akron,” Funk said. “I’m looking forward to getting started.” Funk joins the Zips after serving as the offensive line coach at the University of Michigan for the last four seasons. His lines have produced the Big Ten Rimington-Pace Offensive Lineman of the Year in three of the last four years. Center David Molk won the award in 2011, while Taylor Lewan earned the honor in 2012 and 2013. Molk, who in 2011 received consensus All- America recognition, also earned Rimington Trophy honors as the nation's top center, while Lewan became UM’s first two-time All-American since Jake Long in 2006-07 while also being named a semi-finalist for the Rotary-Lombardi award.

Dr. Moffett teaches courses at the graduate and undergraduate level on Investments, Corporate Finance and Derivatives. His main areas of research include the synthetic replication of shorted securities, market microstructure and portfolio theory. Abstract The top college football coaches are paid millions of dollars annually because they have proven that they can win games and championships. This paper examines if wagering on the highest paid college football coaches is a good bet. Specifically, we examine the profitability of wagering on the teams being coached by the fifteen highest paid college football coaches over the past ten years. The results show that betting on teams coached by these individuals would have resulted in a 53.95% winning percentage. We reject the hypothesis that this is a fair bet. These results are driven by four superstar coaches who beat the wagering line a high percentage of the time. The sport wagering market efficiently priced wagers on 11 of the 15 coaches over the ten-year period.
