The issue is the next year. This is where I think UC can win public opinion by playing that game.
Host them at the Shoe next year. Behave appropriately and beat the snot out of them.
Agree to the return trip to Cintas. If their fans behave the series can continue. This is made known upfront.
If they don't — no vulgar or non PC chants (i.e. Catholics vs. Convicts), no disrespectful costumes, no berating players before during or after by XU fans and no over the top trash talking — we cancel then and there at the presser right afterward.
People outside of Cincinnati will be tuned in to the game next year and the following year to see what happens. They behave and the series continues...they don't and we show the world that the XU fanbases' behavior during the Brawl wasn't an isolated event and why we have every right to cancel. It's no risk and all reward.
If we cancel now we get labeled chicken FOR ETERNITY.
I disagree. All UC would have to do is point out what happened when XU played Purdue and Butler. They have built up quite the reputation in recent years for their trash talking, lack of discipline and disgustingly pathetic fans. The secret is out on XU and there is no better time to cancel the series than right now.
Add in Vanderbilt to those two.
Absolutely! I listen to some of the sports radio guys in Nasvhille from time to time like Frank Wycheck, Mark Howard, etc... and Xavier's reputation as a bunch of undisciplined thugs is well known down there as well. I dont know if Vandy is continuing their series with them or not but the guys in the media sure arent a fan of the Xavier program. Like I said the secret is out about them and what they are about.
