The Image

[MC72642]

The powers that be at the University of Cincinnati got tired of everybody  
across the country thinking UC was just a university with a bunch of basketball  
thugs. So academics was to be put in the spotlight. As long as Bob Huggins 
was  coach they figured there was no way they could do this so pressure was put 
on  not to renew his contract and they would be rid of him and his bad image. 
Only  problem Bob didn't quietly go away. He told them to shove it! Now they 
have a  mess with the UC president getting booed and the university's image 
getting  worse instead of better. What can they do now? People with any sense on 
both  sides know you can't let this go on for two more years. They are in one 
bad  spot. They can't all of a sudden fire Huggins to end this and they can't 
all of  a sudden extend his contract either. This business about letting the 
new AD  decide the contracts of the coaches is a snow job. If the AD they have 
now can't  decide the contracts but the president did why is the new AD going 
to be any  different? How are they going to get out of this? Will they all of 
a sudden  become smart and come up with a brilliant solution. You wouldn't see 
any of  my money on a bet like that. I'd say it's 60- 40 right now Huggins 
stays. They  just have to find a way without losing face. Recruiting has been 
shafted in  the meanwhile. Get this over with!  Don
