Nancy Zimpher University Quotations

We asked Coach Huggins to join all of us as we raised the standards at the University of Cincinnati across the board in academics, in athletics, in service and research,

We must recruit the very best student-athletes we can. ... We have a very high standard for graduation rates for our entire university community, ... While there are certainly examples of academic success, there are simply not enough.

It was in acknowledgment of his rich history here that we wanted to give him an opportunity to coach in the Big East and to have a wonderful sort of termination of his career at the University of Cincinnati. Obviously that didn't turn out to be a viable option for him, but I'm optimistic about the future of our program.

I have had a lot of tough decisions since coming to the University of Cincinnati, ... I wanted a bigger, more complex institution with a large medical program, a robust athletic program, all the complement of colleges and departments that come with a full-service, comprehensive research institution. And I got it.
