Athletic director Mike Thomas is leaving the University of Cincinnati to become the AD at the University of Illinois.

The announcement is expected to be made later today, according to a source in the UC athletic department.

In a shocking turn of events, Loren Tate supports UofI's decision on Thomas.

Seems like a good hire. Zook and Weber better hope for good seasons, though. Thomas lists "hiring good coaches" as one of his strengths. I don't think he'll wait long.

Zook is going to be Bowl game or fired with 8 home games. Weber probably needs at least 1 NCAA tourney win.

The fact that he was able to help clean up Cincy's filthy basketball program and
put their football program on the map are pretty impressive resume builders.
