![]() ![]() ![]() During a call to Cincinnati radio station WLW, Huggins, a former longtime coach at Cincinnati, was asked about the transfer portal and whether he had a chance of landing a player from Xavier, a Jesuit school and the Bearcats’ crosstown rival. Huggins, 69, used a homophobic slur to refer to fans of Xavier University during a radio interview.

Huggins also will be required to meet with LGBTQ+ leaders from across the state. Under the agreement, Huggins and all current and future athletics coaching staff will be required to undergo training that will be developed by the university’s LGBTQ+ Center to address all aspects of inequality, including homophobia, transphobia and sexism. ![]()
