@Setter4life I know but DS’18 is not feeling comfortable about the co-op part of it 
UMN does have two internships required as part of the program and while Cincinnati has the long-running reptuation, UMN does seem to be trying to meet current market needs more.
I don’t think the university will hurt financially as they can easily fill from in state and reciprocal states. I guess it is a business so they have decided to trade-off ranking for the higher dollars.
