Cincy receiving praise

If enough time goes by with no action...he may not give UC the chance to counter another offer or big budget program. He has undoubtedly explained to the AD what he needs to compete with the big dogs time and time again. He is driven by wanting to be a great coach and compete for the biggest prize...if he doesn't see that opportunity here...he could leave out of necessity rather than preference.

It seems like ONO is on board with pay raises for the coaches. What Cronin wants is a bigger BB budget to work with for scheduling and recruiting. Hell, just put our budget in the top 50th percentile and it could make a huge difference. I am sure he would also like to hear some chatter about facility upgrades in terms of arena.

The BB program loses tons of money. The athletic department is hopelessly in debt. The school is cutting millions from its core missions. Do you think a bunch of working people should lose their jobs, and the university's mission further degraded, so Mick can fly first class, and sleep in a slightly nicer bed?

Sorry, but IMO they shouldn't get a cent they can't raise or earn themselves. Its a shame we don't have Papa John throwing money at the program, but that's the reality. Turning a public university into a charity for two millionaire coaches at the expense of the mission is an awful idea. When the entire school is facing year after year of budget cuts, increasing the budget of the most fiscally irresponsible, deficit laden area is absurd.
