Due to an NCAA mandate that average attendance (home and away) exceed 20,000 fans, Cincinnati was to be relegated to NCAA Division I-AA. The program sued the NCAA, managing to limit the tenure of I-AA play to just the 1983 season, and played a schedule of mostly I-A opponents. They participated as independent and played their home games at Riverfront Stadium with on-campus Nippert Stadium being used as a supplement for the second of five straight seasons.Tuckerman Spencer Tuckerman: On a Storybook in South Bend https://gobearcats.com/news/2021/10/3/football-tuckerman-on-a-storybook-in-south-bend.aspx University of Cincinnati November 10, 2024 Schedule 1983 AP Eastern September 10 w y Penn State 20 Beaver Stadium University Park, PA 14–3 83,683 https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-miami-herald-penn-state-shocked-by-c/166502374/ The Miami Herald Penn State shocked by Cincinnati, 14–3 September 11, 1983 February 23, 2025 Newspapers.com September 17 l Oklahoma State Nippert Stadium Cincinnati, OH 17–27 25,934 https://www.newspapers.com/article/tulsa-world-osu-derails-cincinnati-271/166513687/ Tulsa World OSU derails Cincinnati, 27–17 September 18, 1983 February 23, 2025 Newspapers.com September 24 l y Louisville Cardinal Stadium Louisville, KY rivalry 23–31 23,992 https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-opelika-auburn-news-louisville-runs/166513873/ The Opelika-Auburn News Louisville runs over Cincinnati 31–23 September 25, 1983 February 23, 2025 Newspapers.com October 1 w Cornell Riverfront Stadium Cincinnati, OH 48–20 13,840 UC Lets Cornell Off with 48–20 Beating Terry Flynn October 2, 1983 B-1 The Cincinnati Enquirer Cincinnati, Ohio Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/clip/57043456/1983-cornell-cincinnati/ October 8 w Temple Riverfront Stadium Cincinnati, OH 31–16 18,272 https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-philadelphia-inquirer-cincinnati-sen/166514024/ The Philadelphia Inquirer Cincinnati sends Temple reeling to fourth loss, 31–16 October 9, 1983 February 23, 2025 Newspapers.com October 15 l y Florida State Doak Campbell Stadium Tallahassee, FL 17–43 55,102 https://www.newspapers.com/article/tallahassee-democrat-seminoles-slap-cinc/166501690/ Tallahassee Democrat Seminoles slap Cincy 43–17 October 16, 1983 February 23, 2025 Newspapers.com October 22 l Miami (FL) 8 Riverfront Stadium Cincinnati, OH 7–17 14,163 https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-orlando-sentinel-strange-doings-don/166498482/ The Orlando Sentinel Strange doings don't stop Miami, 17–7 October 23, 1983 February 23, 2025 Newspapers.com October 29 t y Kentucky Commonwealth Stadium Lexington, KY 13–13 57,789 Adams provides a spark as UK ties Cincinnati The Courier-Journal October 30, 1983 https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-courier-journal-adams-provides-a-spa/134603259/ November 4, 2023 Newspapers.com November 5 w Rutgers yes Riverfront Stadium Cincinnati, OH 18–7 18,484 https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-star-ledger-erring-rutgers-falls-to/166514314/ The Star-Ledger Erring Rutgers falls to Cincinnati, 18–7 November 6, 1983 February 23, 2025 Newspapers.com November 12 l Memphis State Riverfront Stadium Cincinnati, OH rivalry 10–43 12,125 https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-tennessean-cincinnati-demolished/166503390/ The Tennessean Cincinnati demolished November 13, 1983 February 23, 2025 Newspapers.com November 19 l y Miami (OH) Yager Stadium Oxford, OH Victory Bell 10–14 25,254 https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-cincinnati-enquirer-miami-surprises/166514877/ The Cincinnati Enquirer Miami surprises Bearcats November 20, 1983 February 23, 2025 Newspapers.com 1983 Cincinnati Bearcats Schedule and Results Sports Reference LLC SR/College Football https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/cincinnati/1983-schedule.html Mar 27, 20201983 Football Schedule https://gobearcats.com/sports/football/schedule/1983 University of Cincinnati Athletics Mar 27, 20202009 University of Cincinnati Football Media Guide https://gobearcats.com/documents/2015/4/30/09fbguide_151-198.pdf gobearcats.com July 20, 2019 April 14, 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20190414214734/https://gobearcats.com/documents/2015/4/30/09fbguide_151-198.pdf dead References Cincinnati Category:Cincinnati Bearcats football seasons Cincinnati Bearcats football
