Conference Realignment

[Bearcat Rob]

not trying to get hopes up or saying im extremely confident. But OU's president was very clear he wants the big 12 to expand and add two more teams and he will do everything in his power to push this or he may leave them. Theres tons of articles out there if you want to read more i think theres the whole interview with OU's president on the the tulsa world. But heres a decent one from espn

Gotta love Cincinnati local media trying to ruin what could be potentially the best thing for UC.

Was thinking the exact same thing. Terrible journalism. But hey, at least a bunch of people will click and read the story...

I read the article and was completely ticked off. The Enquirer is what is wrong with Journalism in this country today.

I am personally running out of time. If UC does not get in the Big 12 or the Big 12 does not expand, I cannot and will not be joining UCATS and buying tickets. I will attend some games and cheer on the Bearcats, but I have financially done my part for 30 years. It will be time for someone else to keep the ship afloat!

So you are going to stop supporting an athletic department and University that is investing a ton of money in their sports programs and who regularly is competitive and going to bowl games and the NCAA Tourney based solely on something that they cannot control? Your statement is very irrational.

I am not blaming UC! Someone else will claim my seats and life goes on. UC will not lose a dime. This decision is under my control.

I'm just trying to understand the rationale. If you are not blaming UC, why are you punishing UC? If you don't want to buy tickets anymore, that's fine but that's not how you positioned it. You positioned it as "No Big 12, no more tickets/donations."

It def is frustrating not being in a Power 5 conference. But, there are some things out of our control. This is def. One of them. UC is doing everything they can to get out of the dumpster AAC.

jason I wish I could say it only happens every once in awhile but the media is bought and paid for in this country. There is very little I read that I don't question. There are more Brian Williams they we would be led to believe.
