By weathering a rigorous schedule and prevailing over a host of
adversaries, the members of The University of Akron men’s
basketball team have learned much about dedication, self‑discipline,
leadership, and perseverance. Their first‑place finish is a
measure of their stalwart commitment to the sport, and their
indomitable spirit has made their families, friends, and coaches
incredibly proud; therefore be it
RESOLVED,
That we, the members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly of
Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, recognize The University of Akron
men’s basketball team on its brilliant 2025‑2026 season and
