The University of Cincinnati introduces John Cunningham as next AD

The University of Cincinnati officially has its new athletic director.

John Cunningham, previously deputy athletics director for administration at the University of Minnesota, was introduced Wednesday during a press conference at Fifth Third Arena, filling the vacancy left from Mike Bohn's departure for Southern Cal in early November.

"He is the right leader at the right time to lead our Bearcats into the future," said UC President Neville Pinto.

Cunningham joined Minnesota department of athletics, where his responsibilities included overseeing day-to-day administrative operations, in 2016. He previously served as deputy athletics director at Syracuse and in a variety of roles at Boise State, Texas Christian University and Maryland.
