Despite speculation that Mick Cronin may leave the University of Cincinnati for another position, the longtime Bearcats head coach announced Friday he will return to the program for the 2016-17 campaign.
In a release on the school's official athletics website, Cronin explained the reasoning behind his decision to remain at Cincinnati:
I would like people to try and understand after 10 years of dedicated service I chose to evaluate my career and my life. Reflecting through that process was extremely difficult, but it was something I needed to do for me personally.
