You would think that Fickel proved that UC can be at the top of the football world which could be attractive to the local kids. Although, he also proved what the local coaches know is that UC is still a steppingstone for coaches. However, I would like to believe that being in the Big 12 now would somehow soften that image. We had a run of 4-5 good years if not great. That dates back to when the class of 2024 kids were in 7-8th grade.

What makes it tough is Cincy is saturated with pro teams. Ann Harbor, Cbus, and just about any other Big10 or SEC school is in a city where college dominates. Heck even most Big12 teams. Cincinnati may have the most professional sports teams for a city of its size in the US and I think this drastically cuts down on the $$ available from Alumni and corporate sponsors. Would you rather sponsor the Bearcats or a Bengals team who is killing it? Or the Reds who have 164 games a year? The Lindners are certainly keeping their own $$ more now with a soccer team that can't hold a jock strap as an MLS team.
I really believe cincinnati has cannibalized themselves by having so many pro teams that cut down on the amount of NIL and money coming into the school.Comment

Ryan Day was at Taft on Friday. Several crystal balls came with the visit. I hope the Jan. 22 visit makes a solid impact.Originally posted by red_n_black_attack View PostComment

It is legal now and I see where UC has started a NIL non-profit too. Let us go beyond sour grapes and plant some deep (pocketed) flags.Originally posted by RedDog View PostComment
