Full disclosure: I've been a University of Cincinnati football and basketball season ticket holder since the fall of 2009. Just four years prior, I moved to Clifton to start my undergraduate journey as an already feverishly die-hard fan. I was born and raised in this city. Graduated from it's university. I'm head over heels for all things Bearcat.
Much like Mick Cronin.
So why is the native son of the city, a born-and-raised west sider, an alumni - all of a sudden flirting with UNLV?
I've heard the reasons, and they're valid concerns for a program that wants to be nationally respected for basketball.
