Media coverage
You may or may not have heard that Bill Koch, a former co-worker and veteran of covering UC sports for several decades, will be leaving the Cincinnati Enquirer before the end of the year. Bill is a friend who knows so much about the program, its players and its history.
A replacement beat reporter has not been named. I am curious to see what happens with the coverage. Your thoughts? |

Hearing it is likely Tom Groeschen will take over the beat with a second writer to work on a part time basis from football camp through the bowl game. They are basically taking the beat from two full timers with one covering each sport to a full timer covering both with a focus on hoops and a part timer to help with football. Just what I've been hearing through the grape vine...

Interesting, Chad. Not surprising. Football and basketball used to be one beat. I think the Mark Dantonio and Brian Kelly eras demanded a re-examination of that.

Agreed. Glad they didn't totally reduce it back to one and will at least have two guys working through the bulk of the action...

Koch may be a nice guy, but he has been a terrible beat writer for UC basketball. His negative tone reminds me of L-T.
