Tommy Tuberville takes Cincinnati job

  • DCVolunteer said...

    Cinci has no where to go but hope to create a new and sustainable Big East or for Maryland to win its ACC legal fight and reduce its buyout. The Big Ten isn't taking Cinci. The SEC isn't taking Cinci. The Big 12 isn't taking Cinci and neither is the Pac 12. The reported scenarios if Maryland wins in their legal clash with the ACC, is Florida State and Clemson to the Big 12, Georgia Tech to the Big Ten, and Duke and Carolina to the SEC. Pitt, Louisville, Syracuse, VA, VA Tech, BC, NC State, Miami, Wake, would be the core of the new ACC, maybe Cinci sneaks in there, but that conference would be second tier with the defections. All speculation, but I don't see anyway Cinci goes anywhere but the ACC and if that happens it means the ACC has already been raided.

    ACC is my best bet. Don't count anything out in this environment. Cincinnati is a good TV market that somebody will want to get into. It also give which ever conference that takes them a footprint into Ohio. Ohio TV market is pretty darn good. They have some leverage. Do not forget they also have a competitive basketball program. This whole thing is about TV markets. Big 10 changed the game with the Big Ten Network

    We think so, too. We got the big-splash hire that I think you guys needed. We would have been happy to keep Coach Jones, but right now it looks like we got a for-sure upgrade.

    You guys will still be happy with CBJ, though. He and his staff are tireless recruiters and CBJ is developing as a game-day coach.

    Tubs would not have been a big splash for us. He's a big splash for you because you got an AQ coach to come to what will be a non AQ school. He would've been a solid hire for us (like Butch), but not a splash hire. Great hire for UC, and I'll bet he works out very well for you.
