[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129509028, member: 1428007"] And more about Cincy's bid: excerpt: [I] In a splashy brochure dated November 2014, UC shows how it compares to the Big 12 schools in 10 categories – including annual giving, National Merit Scholars, total research expenditures, enrollment and endowment assets. Cincinnati would rank in the conference's top 5 in each category listed, except the U.S. News & World Report rankings, which would put UC seventh.[/I] More importantly, Cincinnati is a good-sized TV market. Its admission to the Big 12 would open up talent-rich Ohio to Big 12 football recruiters. UC basketball would be a good addition. If the conference also took Memphis or UConn, it could divide into two six-team divisions geographically, with UC, Memphis/UConn and West Virginia holding down the east. The Big 12 has not been eager to discuss expansion, partly because adding members slices thinner the per-school revenue pie.
