Wrong glass, Sir.
People outside of the region seem to think of Cincy as some kind of statewide Sparty to our tsun. They're nothing of the sort. Their fanbase dissolves into nothing outside of the Cincy metro region. Once you get to the other parts of the state, they come in behind the local MAC school(s) for interest.

Since University of Cincinnati is a part of the discussion...
Just an overview: University of Cincinnati was chartered and founded as a municipal college and medical school in 1819. In 1834, the school opened the fourth law school in the United States. 10 years later, it opened the first national observatory. In 1888, UC and Miami, kicked off the first college football game in the state of Ohio. The two schools have played each other more than 130 times, the oldest continual non-conference rivalry in the nation. Opened in 1901, Nippert Stadium is the nation's fifth oldest stadium. In 1906, UC created the first co-op program that allowed students to work in their chosen field while continuing toward their degree. In 1916 they created the first bachelor degree program for nursing. In 1951, doctors at UC Med invented the first successful artificial heart and lung machine, allowing open heart surgery and paving the way for the first heart and lung transplants. The world's first organ transplant took place at UC Med in 1951.
UC became state-affiliated in 1967 and became a state college in 1977. Currently, CCM - the music school ranks 2nd in the nation, one ahead of Indiana University, DAAP - design, architecture, art, and planning is ranked 6th. The medical school is ranked 42nd (Ohio state is 30th), Engineering 86th (Ohio State is 16th), the law school 88th (Ohio State is 33rd). The school itself ranks 148th (Ohio State 49th). According to uni-rank, UC ranks second in the state of Ohio, behind Ohio State but well ahead of Miami and Ohio U. I would note that this same ranking system lists Oberlin as 12th, and Kenyon 14th. Take from it what you will.
For a school whose history and funding has been tied to the city for most of its history, it's bound to be looked upon as a commuter school. It's also true that the bulk of its graduates still reside in the greater Cincinnati area. The school has worked hard to expand its reach across the state and region, but that long history as a community college will take time to dispell. Thanks to programs such as CCM and DAAP, it also has some national appeal.
If I'm not mistaken, I seem to recall that in the 1960s something like 40% of the students at Ohio State were from the greater Columbus region and 60% came from within a radius of 30 miles of the campus.

The Big 12 is in agreement with ESPN and Fox Sports on a six-year media rights extension estimated to be worth approximately $2.3 billion, according to reports Sunday. The reported new deal goes into effect in time for the 2025-26 athletic calendar. CBS Sports' Dennis Dodd reported that the league's annual payout will increase to an average of $380 million beginning that school year. The move comes after the conference entered early negotiations with its media partners earlier in the year.

Do the people in that picture think this is a dildo thread or is the Big XII a dildo conference?

Sorry for the delay. Also, looks like I missed a great event from the looks of the picture in that Tweet.

The Pac-12 Conference has yet to reached a new media rights deal as the 2024 expiration looms for its existing contract. Reports suggest the conference, which already lost USC and UCLA to the Big Ten, effective 2024, could be forced to rely heavily on streaming in order to land a new deal valuable enough to satisfy its 10 remaining members. Should the Pac-12 schools even reject that and begin to look for new homes, Baylor athletic director Mack Rhoades hinted the Big 12 should be proactive in trying to lure some of those schools into the conference.
"I am certainly not rooting for the demise of any particular conference, but I am also looking out for what is best for Baylor and what is best for Baylor is a really really strong Big 12, and one that secures its future but not over just the next six years but beyond," Rhoades recently told 356 Sports. "There is a short gain but also a long gain for this. It is dependent on what happens among the Pac-12. There may be movement if whatever media deal they are able to strike is not satisfactory. We have to be prepared for that and I think we are if that was to happen. Again, looking out for the Big 12, how do we strengthen ourselves."
Just sayin': If the PAC-12 implodes with no media deal, it will be interesting to see what the remaining PAC-12 teams do. Regardless the B1G and SEC teams are going to have a big financial advantage in their athletic departments due to their very lucrative TV deals.

"Barkin' up the wrong tree"

The NFL has played games at Estadio Azteca before and sells them out, so football is a little less of a head scratcher.
But basketball? Is there an underground basketball fanbase in Mexico?
Can't wait to see the UC/Iowa State game kick off at 3:00pm Mountain Time. Played in front of about 11,000 fans.
If I was a season ticket holder, I'd be raising hell if I lost a home game to a location in Mexico.

Wrong glass, Sir.
When the United States sends Mexico its football, it's not sending its best. It's sending rape factories, basketball bluebloods and recent G5's.
