The Ripple Effects of Cincinnati’s New Hire Extend Past Its Bowl Matchup

“I’m excited to take Cincinnati into the Big 12 this fall and ready to compete for championships,” Satterfield said in a statement after his hire was announced.

In a collision of circumstances that college sports somehow excels at creating, officials from Louisville and Cincinnati met in Boston Monday to plan promotions for their Dec. 17 meeting in the Fenway Bowl. Meanwhile, back home, the Bearcats were busy swiping the very same guy who was supposed to coach the Cardinals in that game, Scott Satterfield. No awkwardness there at all.

Satterfield’s out-of-nowhere hire rippled elsewhere, too.
