Monday, May 13 has appropriately been declared "513 Day" by the University of Cincinnati athletic department as they plan a day-long fundraiser for Cincy Reigns, the official Name, Image and Likeness collective of the Bearcats. Tying in with the date and the area code, their goal is to add 513 new members during the event.

Cincy Reigns membership tiers will be set at $5.13, $51.30, $513 and $5,130 on gobearcats.com/reigns. UC's social media accounts @GoBearcats and @GoBearcatsFB will feature hometown heroes during the day.

"There's no place like Cincinnati and we want to celebrate everything that makes our city special on 513 Day this Monday," Director of Athletics John Cunningham said. "Cincinnati is a city with a blue-collar mindset. We won't be overworked and we will always push to be better. Our student-athletes embody the mindset of our city and it's my hope you (UC fans) support them on Monday."

University of Cincinnati Athletics and Cincy Reigns have declared Monday as 513 Day as they raise money for UC student-athletes through the school's NIL collective, Cincy Reigns.

Ball and Brew coming near you

As they did last year, University of Cincinnati Bearcats head football coach Scott Satterfield and members of his program will be featured at five events across the Queen City this May and June as part of the inaugural “Ball and Brew” tour at local breweries and restaurants.

Satterfield, star players, coordinators Tyson Veidt, Brad Glenn and Kerry Coombs along with AD John Cunningham will participate in several events as well as members of Cincy Reigns, UC's official NIL collective.

UC coaches and players will be available to take photos and sign autographs. The events are free and intended to give Bearcat football fans a look inside the program as it heads into its second season in the Big 12 Conference.

What to expect

“Ball and Brew” will feature exclusive Q&As with Satterfield, student-athletes and other UC football coaches and administrators, giveaways, season ticket information, and NIL education.

"Our job, just like Wes Miller (and basketball) now is to keep the key guys that you need on your team and then add a few that can come in and keep doing what we're doing," Satterfield said of the offseason."We both have done a good job of keeping our guys we need to keep and also adding guys that really fit the culture. It has to be the right guys as far as character goes."

The tour kicks off on Thursday, May 16 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET at Holy Grail Tavern and Grille in downtown Cincinnati. UC football's summer training begins May 13.
