Speaker 2 (00:16):
Welcome back since e three sixty rolling along our number three.
Thanks to our friends at Penn Station. Thank you for
listening on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati's Sports Station. A a
monumental day yesterday at the University of Cincinnati with the
opening of the the Indoor Practice Facility, the Shakeley Indoor
Practice Facility and Athletics Performance Center. This is a vision
(00:41):
that has come to life rather quickly and last night
kind of culminating with an awesome event. And here to
talk a little bit about that today and everything else
going on at the University of Cincinnati. Is the Athletic
Director joining us now, John Cunningham. John, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Not too much. It was a lot of fun yesterday
and good to be with you time.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
You know, I have to imagine it's one thing when
you you see renderings and you see construction happening, and
and the cranes are on campus and I know that
that I heard you speak one time that you know,
if you get to a point where there's not cranes
and growth happening on campus, then that's a bad thing.
So you've kind of seen the vision, but to see
(01:22):
it from start to finish and then have that culminate
in last night with the ribbon cutting and the grand opening,
what was that like for you to be there at
that moment when when things were essentially made official last night?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
It was It was a great night. Obviously. I think
there's two moments for me. One was our team really
had not seen the facility. They've seen little bits of it.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Uh maybe some of them had had taken hard hat
tours a long time ago.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
But so to walk the team into.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
The locker room and let them see.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Everything was really cool.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
It feels good to give that to them because you
haven't had an indoor.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
For two years.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
We've been practicing outdoors in the cold, and and you know,
I look out my window in my office and I'm
in November and I see them out there and it's
it's bad weather and and creating cold, and they're trying
to get work done prepping for a game that that week.
So it was great to give that to them, number one.
And then I think the other thing was it was
great to get it, you know, to open this facility
(02:21):
up and.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Give that moment to our donors.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Our highest level donors were the ones that were participated yesterday.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Obviously the Shake League.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
The Burns, you know, the Leonards that you just go
on and all these people that have that have given
so much to our program, and that was awesome, uh
to see to see them there and get to enjoy
that that night.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I think it's important as well when you talk about
the competitive edge and the recruiting aspect of this, because
we we we can talk about the details of the
facility itself, but what this does now for UC athletics
on a recruiting level and a competitive edge level, I
would imagine would would take things to the next level
(03:04):
for you.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Yeah, I mean we I was talking to Vak Grant
last night, that's our GM and football, and he had
several stories about guys that they're in on now and
and frankly said, I don't know if we'd be in
on them if we didn't have this, And certainly, you know,
if we were one of five schools we show them
this and now we're we're at the top of that list,
(03:26):
and so.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
It changes the game.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
And I know, you know, college athletics obviously is so
much different with you know, revenue share and then i
OL and all those things. But every single player that
comes through our door football wise, wants to play in
the NFL.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
And if you can show them that you.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Have the best facilities for their mind and body to
get them prepared for the NFL, that's gonna that's gonna
make a difference.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
And so that's what this facility does for us.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
It's obvious when when you look at it, you see
the huge turf field, you you see uh some of
the former players from a football standpoint that have uh
have made an impact at the university. But I think
it's also important to note this isn't just a football facility.
Talk about uh, the the athletic department as a whole
being able to use this space from a productive standpoint.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
It really kind of breaks down two ways.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Number One, I mean, just like we used the bubble
in the past, which is, you know, when there's any
weather at all, we're putting all of our our sports
in there, our winter sports, especially so lacrosse practicing in there,
Soccer practicing in there. Uh. We we put baseball nets
in the facility specifically to allow Coach Fisher to do
what he loves to do, which he loves. He loves
(04:39):
to use netting until it worked out really well. He
likes to get guys in there and hitting and pitching
in the in nets, and that's what he's used to,
that's how he operates. So we're able to kind of,
you know, retrofit it to Coach Fisher when he came
on board.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
So all those things were were great.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
We'll continue use that in any other The other piece
of the equation when you think about all sports is
our nutrition center, So the Gold Family Nutrition and Performance
Center for just student athletes and staff. So it's it's
exclusive to athletics be a place for all of us
to gather. You know, I said yesterday, break bread sometimes
you can. You can get a lot of work done
(05:17):
just sitting around having a meal that doesn't necessarily take
place on a field. You build that camaraderie and that
that one team mentality.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I think it's unique because it's it's something you don't
really talk about, but the way things have been for
the last couple of years. You know, if you're lifting,
maybe you have to go down to the football field
to stretch, and then you've got to go to the
weight room, and then you've got to go somewhere else
for meetings. The facility now it literally houses everything from
recovery to player lounges to as you mentioned, nutrition. I
(05:46):
saw there's a barbershop chair, there are there's games, there's offices.
It houses everything, and I would imagine from a functionality
standpoint as well, it kills a lot of that downtime
that coach can now spend more time with these players,
they can get to business quicker. But just the functionality
of it as a whole, it's literally a one stop
(06:08):
shot for.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Everything it is.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
I mean, it creates such efficiency and in a lot
of ways, when you think about the limited time college
football specifically has to prepare for the season, you know,
it really is a month of time to prepare for
an entire season, you have to be extremely efficient, and
that's what that's what it does. I mean, it creates
that efficiency top to bottom. Allows our players, like you said,
(06:34):
to kind of have their whole day set out in
that building and do what they need to do and
then you know, hal some downtime too.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
It's important. You got to arrest that body and that mind.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
And so there's places within that building to just take
a break and hang with your your teammates and build camaraderie.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Day.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I know that you're talking leading architecture firms that conspired
on this project, but to have some that was approved
in just May of twenty twenty two, groundbreaking in May
of twenty twenty three, to be finished as we sit
here in the middle of June of twenty twenty five,
I would imagine that this was a pretty fast timeline
(07:12):
to put up such an impressive structure. From an architectural.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Standpoint, it was so Gindler nationally, MSA locally were phenomenal
from an architectural standpoint. And then Messer is the construction
build I was talking to a couple of eights. We
were down in a meeting called NACO, which is a
bunch of athletic directors just this week in Orlando, and
some couple of them asked me about it.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
I said, you know, when we started, we finished, and
they just.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
They could not believe that at a public institution, statifically
we were able to move that efficiently and get it
done in the timeframe that we did, so they were
very impressed. I was always impressed with the work that
was being done there and the timiness of it.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
I always said, staying.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
On time, on budget with music to my ears, and
that was consistent across the board throughout the projects.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
So great partners there.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Planning obviously was very important for the project itself, but
I know you guys have been ahead of the curve
from planning to what happened last Friday, the house settlement.
From a collegiate sports standpoint, just talk a little bit
about how proactive you guys were to remain competitive and
compliant with everything that's now changing from the college landscape
(08:27):
to make sure that foundation is strong for the future.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Yeah, I mean we had to get ready because this
change happens on July one, and like you mentioned, we
did not hear officially that the house settlement was completed
until Friday last week, so you know, we did a
lot of work to get ready so that we can
immediately go into a new base. So you know, for
(08:52):
the past couple of years, most NIO has been done
through collective, and we had a great collective and they're
still around, but empty rains with great partners and.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
They're fantastic.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
But in a new model that comes in house, that
becomes something that we're doing through our revenue share, and
so we created what we call the Impact Fund to
help us fund that so we can compete at the
highest level, retain the very best, and go toe to
toe with anybody in the country. And so that's what
we're working on and that's the investment for the future.
But yeah, it takes a lot.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
We're doing.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
We're doing individual contracts NIL contracts with our student athletes,
so there's a lot of work that our legal team
has to do. We have someone named Trevor Wright that
moved over from compliance to specifically handle the contract piece
to this, and then Eddie Taylor is somebody that's worked
for us for a couple of years, but now he's
really focused in on NIL deals with businesses and so
(09:48):
he's out in the community working on.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Business deals as well.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
So a lot of that planning and infrastructure took place
before and now we go July one right around the corner.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I know it's important to live in the now, and
certainly there's a lot of exciting things happening around the
University of Cincinnati. But you mentioned the future and how
the indoor facility is going to shape the future. But
just the landmark moment here in college sports with the
house settlement and being ahead of the curve to make
(10:19):
sure you're shaping the future of collegiate athletics. How important
is that to both have to live in the now
and what's going on, but be very aware of the
ever changing environment in college sports to make sure you're
settled for the future as well.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
At you see, that's a great question, and well put,
I mean, you know, we do need to focus in
on making sure that we're taking care of our student athletes.
You know, this transition period from you know, a collective
model into a revenue share model. We've got to make
that transition smooth. So there's a lot of now that's
(10:55):
going on. But to your point, you know, where is
college athletics going long term? What what do we look
like in twenty thirty when a lot of the television
rights deals come up? You know, is there a shuffle
that's going to take place? And then where are the
Bearcats in that mix? That has to be our focus.
And so I talked to my team about that all
the time is you know, we've got to get ourselves
(11:17):
competing at the very highest level very quickly, so that
we were in the mix if there is a shuffle
down the line, and we just have to be nimble
and flexible because as we've seen over the last couple
of years, this thing's gonna bob and weave and move
around a little bit until we get it right. But
I'll go back to this point, which is college athletics
(11:37):
is really important to our country. It's part of our
you know, it's ingrained in a lot of things that
we do. It's very popular. It's the reason we're so
successful in Olympics, you know, every four years, and it's,
you know, something that people love.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
So we got to protect it.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
And collectively, as athletic directors and presidents of the university,
you got to find a way to protect this great
thing that we have.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
John, thank you so much for your time today. I
know it's been a busy couple weeks as you guys
prepared for everything last night, the videos, the photos, the
presentation could not come across any better. And we certainly
appreciate your time today and appreciate the work that you've
done and continue to do to get you see in
the best possible avenue going forward for the future of
(12:24):
athletics as well. We appreciate the time and we'll talk
again soon.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Thank you, Tony, always good to talk to you.

not play today, but there is still some news as
it pertains to the Cincinnati Reds. We've got some WAIGHTE.
Miley news that we can talk about. But more than that,

Speaker 4 (01:56):
It feels good to give that to them because you

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Obviously the Shake League.

The Burns, you know, the Leonards that you just go

so much to our program, and that was awesome, uh
to see to see them there and get to enjoy

Speaker 2 (02:43):
I think it's important as well when you talk about
the competitive edge and the recruiting aspect of this, because
we we we can talk about the details of the

on a recruiting level and a competitive edge level, I
would imagine would would take things to the next level
(03:04):
for you.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Yeah, I mean we I was talking to Vak Grant
last night, that's our GM and football, and he had

Have the best facilities for their mind and body to
get them prepared for the NFL, that's gonna that's gonna
make a difference.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
Business deals as well.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
So a lot of that planning and infrastructure took place
before and now we go July one right around the corner.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I know it's important to live in the now, and
certainly there's a lot of exciting things happening around the
University of Cincinnati. But you mentioned the future and how
the indoor facility is going to shape the future. But
just the landmark moment here in college sports with the
house settlement and being ahead of the curve to make
(10:19):
sure you're shaping the future of collegiate athletics. How important
is that to both have to live in the now
and what's going on, but be very aware of the
ever changing environment in college sports to make sure you're
settled for the future as well.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
At you see, that's a great question, and well put,
I mean, you know, we do need to focus in
on making sure that we're taking care of our student athletes.
You know, this transition period from you know, a collective
model into a revenue share model. We've got to make
that transition smooth. So there's a lot of now that's
(10:55):
going on. But to your point, you know, where is
college athletics going long term? What what do we look
like in twenty thirty when a lot of the television
rights deals come up? You know, is there a shuffle
that's going to take place? And then where are the
Bearcats in that mix? That has to be our focus.
And so I talked to my team about that all
the time is you know, we've got to get ourselves
(11:17):
competing at the very highest level very quickly, so that
we were in the mix if there is a shuffle
down the line, and we just have to be nimble
and flexible because as we've seen over the last couple
of years, this thing's gonna bob and weave and move
around a little bit until we get it right. But
I'll go back to this point, which is college athletics
(11:37):
is really important to our country. It's part of our
you know, it's ingrained in a lot of things that
we do. It's very popular. It's the reason we're so
successful in Olympics, you know, every four years, and it's,
you know, something that people love.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
So we got to protect it.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
And collectively, as athletic directors and presidents of the university,
you got to find a way to protect this great
thing that we have.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
John, thank you so much for your time today. I
know it's been a busy couple weeks as you guys
prepared for everything last night, the videos, the photos, the
presentation could not come across any better. And we certainly
appreciate your time today and appreciate the work that you've
done and continue to do to get you see in
the best possible avenue going forward for the future of
(12:24):
athletics as well. We appreciate the time and we'll talk
again soon.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Thank you, Tony, always good to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Take care, Yes, sir, that is John Cunningham, the athletic
director the University of Cincinnati Bearcats. Kicking us off an
hour number three. When we get back, let's switch gears.
I know the Reds played yesterday day game. They do
not play today, but there is still some news as
it pertains to the Cincinnati Reds. We've got some WAIGHTE.
Miley news that we can talk about. But more than that,
(12:53):
a Hunter Green conversation that was brought up earlier in
the week that I think deserves a little bit of time.
We'll do that when we get back. It's since e
three to sixty on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.
Thanks to Penn Station.
