"Cincinnati is bringing back some of its Olympic sports and it’s due, in part, to the generosity of football coach Tommy Tuberville.

In 2009, the university was forced to put scholarship restraints on several Olympic sports and nix scholarships altogether for men's cross country, men's track and field, and men's swimming and diving. Those sports are now all coming back.

Tuberville pledged $300,000 over the next five years to Olympic sports, a donation that was announced during his introductory press conference back in December, but is now seeing tangible results."

He does make $2.3m a year.

Look at Conference USA. Here are their full time members in the future: UAB, Marshall, USM, Rice, UTEP, UNCC, FAU, FIU, Louisiana Tech, MTSU, North Texas, Old Dominion, UTSA. Now look at affiliate members for men's soccer, women's soccer, or women's rowing: Alabama, Colorado College, Kansas, Kansas St., Kentucky, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia, Cal State Sacramento, New Mexico, San Diego St.

Talk about a cluster!

The problem is if and when we move to another conference we will have to move these teams again. I say make it as closely aligned to what we currently have and make the deal that once we are on to other things then the teams move with us. THis give the old Big East times to get their members to offer these sports or bring them up to their current level.
