As for IU, I hope that happens but I read somewhere they are close to finalizing a series with UL. With the X game being at home next year, along with X having a pretty bad team, I would imagine it will be the last game for awhile (unless both parties agree to a neutral site). So UC destroys X next year and then ends the series. That's fine with me |

I would put a UK game at about 20% chance right now and IU about the same. Even if UK were to happen, that would be a 1 time game and it would mean nothing in future years. I would like to see a series with any of UK, IU, OSU, Purdue, etc like the rest of you, but I'm not holding my breath. |

I'd love for it to happen too as it would be a win/win. We could lose by 10 and the RPI would see it as a huge success! Last edited by Bearcat04; 05-09-2012 at 08:40 AM. |

You are right. Thanks for clearing it up. Cincy at US Bank makes too much sense

Mick's quotes sounded to me like he's already expecting to get the short end here. We probably have as much current pull as anyone if the BE were calling the shots. Unfortunately, we have basically 0 leverage with ESPN and are probably a smaller brand than the other choices. Certainly smaller than ND. |

Here is why:
Cincinnati made it further than any of those teams last year and are projected to be ranked in the top 20 next year. Add that the regional interest would be off the charts. ND is going to be down next year now that Martin and Tim A are not coming back. Gtown will be solid and I could see them getting the game. Pitt was down last year and Big East would push against having Pitt play sense they are leaving. |
