Interesting, I wonder what criteria they use because if you look at the NCAA statistics, Akron as a team is number 49 all time by winning percentage:

Akron - .602
Miami - .553
Kent - .473
I'm sure the last 20 years weights in more heavily and the fact that Akron has only been to 1 NCAA tournament (in division 1) is also a big factor.
