Cincinnati Using Chipotle Proximity As a Recruiting Pitch
By Ty Duffy
Austin Mack, a four-star wide receiver from Indiana, tweeted this recruiting material sent by the University of Cincinnati. The football program touts the proximity of Chipotle to its stadium.
To be fair, there is a Chipotle quite close to Nippert Stadium. It’s a seven-minute, 0.3-mile walk. The Bearcats may be burying the lede with the Chick-fil-A right next to the stadium. But, we’ll allow it.
Ohio State, the favorite to land Mack’s services, has a 20-minute walk to the closest Chipotle. So, this could be a place for Cincinnati to make inroads.
Notre Dame, the second-favorite, has a Chipotle within a 10-minute walk. Though, that extra three minutes between football and burrito is critical.
It’s not clear whether Mack even likes burritos (but, really, who doesn’t?). We assume a similar notice was sent to every ACC president.
