I do not think that the proposition in detail he puts forth is correct(way to simple), but the spirit of it may very well be correct. Fed Ex might sponsor that game, but i think it's deeper than that. Remember, Cincy has a corporation that spends 6 billion dollars on advertising that's a 5 or 10 minute drive from it's campus. There is always someone bigger than you. schools, conference, tv, sponsors. Guess whose money it is to begin with? I think Cincy was fine being in the Big East and wished for it to continue until Pitt and Syc got cold feet. Ultimately, they have the resources in that city to quietly push the machine. When you agree to build an 85 mm expansion which is mostly luxury boxes and they are sold, someone knows something. I don't think they were buying them with the direction of watching smu, usf,temple, et. al.  The conference dollars involved here are not big potatoes to some of the businesses. Big advertisers are likely to get what they want. However, i still think it was ACC driven. We'll see.
