UNLV awaits decision from Cincinnati’s Cronin

UNLV met again with Cincinnati basketball coach Mick Cronin on Thursday morning, but he returned home without agreeing to take over the Rebels.

Athletic director Tina Kunzer-Murphy said in a text message that UNLV officials and Cronin “had another great discussion.” She added in another message the two parties were “still working, (Cronin) and his agent are reviewing…this is a process.”

UNLV president Len Jessup sounded optimistic in an interview that followed the presentation to the Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee of plans to develop a $1.3 billion domed stadium.

“The process is going well,” Jessup said of talks with Cronin.
