The new and improved Bill Koch over at GoBearcats.com is reporting that the University of Cincinnati is prepared make the cost of attendance payments to student athletes. The amount would put UC among the top 10 highest paying schools in the country, and potentially top 5, according to senior athletic director Maggie McKinley.
According to senior associate athletic director Maggie McKinley, UC is expected to be among the top 10 schools in the country – and possibly the top five – in how much it will provide its student-athletes. That’s not because the school is trying to outspend other schools, McKinley said, but because the actual cost of getting an education at UC is calculated based on federal Department of Education guidelines used by financial aid offices throughout the country.
