Okay I’m done but as you see literally every article I found that mentions teams by name not only included Cincinnati but named them as the most likely. Such a pipe dream huh lmao

With conferences tv deals due to expire and the constantly reshuffling we see every few years, only an idiot wouldn't at least consider the possibility of us joining one again. (Key word: Again. You do know we already were in a P%, right?)

PS The name calling and personal shots are totally unnecessary.
Your boy Jon r is big with the name calling, it trickled over.

I understand we joined a power conference that quickly realized it was the most fragile of them all. In that time all the other notable schools were poached other than UConn. Why not us? What has changed since then? Didn’t we finish the regular season #3 and still couldn’t get an invite?

Why is now different?

Do you really believe conferences will kick out members?
ACC has another open spot to get to 16, bug 12 said they wouldn’t be adding any at the moment, not ever. And why wouldn’t the SEC want to add the recruiting ground of Ohio to their conference? We are the 4/5 best highschool football state in the country. And we would make a great geographical rival for UK. I think OSU will do whatever they can to keep us out of the Big Ten but the rest could easily overrule them it would help cut some of Ohio Sts in state recruiting ability.

I called you a name cause you trashed the man who brought our program back to relevance and an entire half of the city. Well deserved

Don’t you think ky feels the same about us as osu. Ky basketball already has permeated the cincy area.

I don’t see how you think we add nothing, we are a top ten basketball program of all time, we are a top ten football team at this very moment, and I guarantee you Fickell doesn’t go anywhere if we get an invite into a power 5 in 2 years

Again, that’s one school, I’m pretty sure it works on a majority rules. And you don’t think they would love a rivalry like that? A game a little over an hour away, they only have one other school that’s even close to them

Then why didn’t the acc take us? Why didn’t the big 12? Your argument doesn’t make sense. We may be the best of the g5 but what about uc will get us the invite? Do we add that many dollars? What drives the expansion?

Why do we always come up on top of the list?
