The University of Cincinnati finally broke its silence Friday afternoon.
More than a week after six of its men’s basketball players entered the transfer portal in a three-day span, Cincinnati Director of Athletics John Cunningham announced via an emailed statement that UC will be reviewing allegations related to the men's basketball team.
"The University has always put the welfare of its student-athletes first. We feel this is an essential step to ensure that all of our athletic programs meet the highest standards,” Cunningham said in the statement.
The statement did not mention any specific allegations, only that the university would be working with independent fact-finders to conduct a review.
