Cronin: Still not enough respect for UC | UC Athletics Blog

"I still think that we should probably be ranked higher based on who we have back," Cronin said. "You look at the teams ranked ahead of us and we have more guys back than those teams, but we haven’t made believers out of many people yet. That’s going to be my message to our team. I don’t think we’re given very much respect.

Cronin bullish on new Big East // cincinnati.com

"I just think you get overshadowed in the Big East because there's so many big media names and traditional powers," Cronin said. "We have some historically strong basketball schools in our league that I think could have a chance to rebuild. It could be an opportunity for those schools to get some legs going."

I hope everyone realises that catering to the Basketball side the equation creates ever more problems for the Football schools.
