UC Declines ESPN Football Appearance

Contact: Brian Teter

CINCINNATI, Ohio--University of Cincinnati Director of Athletics Bob Goin and Head Football Coach Mark Dantonio have jointly agreed to decline an ESPN invitation to move the TCU home football game at Nippert Stadium on October 30 to Friday night, October 29. Goin said a couple major issues were behind the decision not to move the game.

"It is always attractive and tempting to make a move that will place us on the national scene, however, as we build our football to compete in the Big East with a majority of Ohio and Northern Kentucky high school players, we do not want to infringe on their traditional night of football," Goin said. "High school football is important to a lot of people in Greater Cincinnati and there are some outstanding rivalries being played that night."

the BE needs the exposure,

UC a future member not a team player IMO

they don't want a spanking by TCU

[E.T.]

I don't argue with their opinion . . . and I agree with USF doing it for the exposure . . .
