Alex talks about what the standard of the Bearcats Football program should be after their success the last four years and the roster and coaching staff turnover they will experience this offseason.

The Big 12's success this bowl season has Alex excited for the quality of competition Cincinnati will face when they move to the conference in football and also for men's basketball.
