[I][B]As I mentioned here before, adding Connecticut would give the league access into the Northeast, including New York. It’s what the Big Ten thought when it took in Rutgers — only Connecticut has good basketball. (And went to a BCS bowl in football.) [/B][/I]

[I]Cincinnati, meanwhile, isn’t Ohio State, but at least the Bearcats’ large state is cabled.[/I]

[I]Remember when the Cincinnati Enquirer requested public records and published communications between UC and the Big 12? Well, after that, reports surfaced that Connecticut president Susan Herbst hosted dinner for Kansas State president Kirk Schulz, who happens to be chairman of the Big 12 board of directors.[/I]

[I][B]As I’ve written, UC and UConn are the front-runners for any open spots, but word I get is a third option is Central Florida. [/B]There is also some sentiment for Houston and Memphis, but if the league wishes to dive into Florida, UCF seems the leader[/I]
