[NU Sports] The Big Televwelven ... what?

[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

While it's not one of the popular names - Syracuse, Rutgers, Mizzou, etc. - I have heard Cincy mentioned by several different people as a candidate.

It's not like they're the worst academic institution in Ohio (that would be the one in ... well, I'll let you fill in that sentence :) ), they have solid football and basketball, it would give us company on the low-enrollment end of the league, makes sense geographically and market-wise.

It'd be like getting Marquette or DePaul, but with a football program.:)

GO CATS!!! Well, we'd have to share that, so I'd vote no!:)
