The new rumor on the wv rivals site is that we are headed to the big 12 along with south Florida. If true, great. But I will believe it when I see it.

The B12 taking us makes sense in that it gives them a foot down in NY. Texas likes going big and in this country New York is as big as it gets.
They are just trolling Cincy fans.Seems absurd to me. USF gives them nothing. UConn gives them an eastern team for WVU to play...in theory. In reality, Storrs is not close to Morgantown. Cinci would make much more sense for them as a midwestern school. Unlike the B1G, markets don't really matter to the B12.
After this year it is truly not going to matter what conference we are in. Beginning in 2014, the BCS no longer exists. The football playoff is set up for 10 years. and the only thing that I am 93.692% sure about is tournament expansion. It will not stay 4 teams for very long. It will soon go to 8 and evenutually include all conference champions.
lol. So we were going to the ACC, then the Big 10, then the SEC, and now the Big 12.
Hope springs eternal I guess. We're going to the AAC and staying there. For at least a long, long while.
Unfortunately, this cannot be helped. I'm talking about the product on the field/court. Win games, get into the tournament, and hopefully get a couple more high profile wins. Same thing in basketball. The money issue sucks, but it is what it is.It won't matter other than we will be $20-30 million per year in income behind all the other majors, but that's no big deal.
What really sucks is that had the ACC taken UConn, the B12 would have probably added UL and UC and everyone other than Mike Aresco would have been happy.
UL going to the ACC kind of took away the B12's most logical expansion candidate and unfortunately for Cincy they are not as attractive an addition without UL.
CR really has played out the apocalyptic scenario for UConn

Not much difference between a flight from Austin to Hartford than Tucson to Seattle or Miami to Boston. The B12 adding UConn is no more of a logistical issue than many of the other CR moves made so far.
Can I go along for the ride with them??How about the women's vollyball team on a bus?

It happened earlier than that. Pitt was a perfect fit for the ACC. The Big 12 had a very logical expansion block to WVU, Pitt, Cinci and Louisville, all of which are geographically coherent. The ACC should have added UConn and Rutgers long ago. If it had UConn and Rutgers now, instead of Pitt and Louisville, it would be better off. It would control the NY market.
