Little late to the ball game
Can we move this to smack or lock since it appears that's what the person who revived the thread is attempting to do....extremely unnecessary.

This is a zombie thread that should have stayed buried in the grave...

Obviously I will continue to support Cincinnati in every way possible but every win Cincinnati gets, my satisfaction gained will be conditional. Conditional in the sense that I don't care if we beat Memphis, UCF, USF, etc., all I care about is elevating our program over everyone else so that when the music starts, whenever that may be, Cincinnati won't be left without a chair again.
In two years, Cincinnati has lost its AQ status, membership in the best basketball conference in the nation, its biggest rival (to a much better conference), a F**K ton of money, and will watch Xavier get elevated to comparable status taking MSG with them to boot...and you know what? Cincinnati did nothing wrong, they competed at the highest level in football earning 2 BCS berths, they rebuilt their basketball program after it was completely destroyed to a Sweet 16 run, have made a commitment to renovate Nippert and support its two main sports financially (coaches salaries, indoor practice facilities), and have vastly improved both their academics and campus infrastructure. Sure the city of Cincinnati could have supported their team better. Unlike Louisville, we have to compete with the Bengals and the Reds for fans but still 35k perpetually in the stands should have been doable. Regardless, Cincinnati proved it on the field and on the court time and time again that they belong in the club...instead we were left out in the cold, typical Bearcat luck.
Every single UConn and Cincinnati fan, and to a lesser extent USF fan, has gotten completely screwed and should be severely depressed by the events that have transpired these past two years. Time isn't changing anything, if anything it will only make it worst. Not one of our programs can compete with the good to elite P5 football programs with that money differential as time goes on. Hell, the mediocre to bottom-dweller programs will be tougher to compete with in recruiting and, consequentially, on the field.
The P5 is slowly starving out the lesser programs. Eventually stipends will be permitted to college players and competing at even a comparable level will be impossible to almost every program not in the P5. College sports becomes more and more of a sham every day, even still, I hope the Bearcats are apart of it instead of being left behind fading into irrelevance.
With that said, go Bearcats...I hope we dominate every god d@mn school in football and basketball in this joke of a conference so none of you get that potential chair when the music starts over us. Cincinnati has no friends in this sh!t conference...every other program should feel the exact same way.
