Message: [QUOTE="don356, post: 1765174, member: 5634"] You can believe what you wish, but having lived in Cincy for 10 years before i returned back to Nyc, southern Ohio is hostile territory for Osu fans, and they will admit as much themselves. The competition for Uc isn't Osu, it's professional sports teams. That said, any school of that size has large amounts of alumni in that area, and it's a question of providing quality opponents and product if they are going to survive and prosper. You do not build a 1.5 billion endowment without a lot of blocks. There is no question that any of these schools being considered should add fan support and interest with their affiliation with the b12, and it comes down to what other benefits the league may get from those areas be it recruiting exposure, sponsors, etc. not to mention ease of getting there and back regularly. Don't believe everything in the Ny times or interactive data. They are skewed based on more than one factor. Unless you line up every game at the same time and put it out there on everyone's tv offerings you have stats..............and we all know what they say about stats. Here's to hoping Uconn and Cincy remain rivals. Neither school has deserved the fate of the last several years, but sometimes distress builds a better franchise. [/QUOTE]
