Don't forget that metropolis of a county known as Clermont. The UC fans are running around saying this is a done deal. WVU would love it as they are out there flapping. I would say UCF or Memphis have the best shot. UCF would be all alone and Memphis sucks. The Juggalos still have a ways to go on their facilities, if I recall.

They are just day dreaming, and it is probably a wet one too.

Halfway interesting article on the effect of the Longhorn Network on the Big XII adding teams.

The Big 12 Should Go To 14 Teams

Re: First, Cincinnati is a no brainer. The state of Ohio has 11.6 million people and is football crazy. The Bearcat brand is significant enough to drive interest in the state and you get a natural rivalry with West Virginia. Assuming you could get full distribution in Ohio for the Big 12 Network, adding a team in Ohio would add roughly $46 million in additional revenue.

I'm not sure that picking up "the juggalos" would get may TV sets for a Big XII network in Ohio outside of Hamilton County.

After reading a similar article I saw one pop up about a big 12 recruiting update. It looked pretty sad, when I read it so I decided to look up where they stand for the 2016 class on Rivals, here are the 10 highlights I came up with:

1. The highest ranked class in the big 12 is currently TTech at 17. Above 17 there are 3 teams from the ACC (worst conference overall), 4 from the B1G (worst conference by espin standards), 3 teams from the Pac, and 6 from the mighty SEC. Those numbers will of course change, but right now that's where it stands. Many of those ACC and B1G teams will drop down, and we'll see some pac teams likely jump up.

2. TTech is sitting there with 19 commits, so they will likely drop, even though some of the other will rise, I don't see any of their teams cracking the top 15, and only a few in the top.

3. The giants of the conference, Texas and Oklahoma are sitting in the 50s, though they only have 12 combined recruits, it's pretty late in the game to sit with this little commits, as more and more kids are committing early. Don't know if either will crack top 20. Though Texas has a 3.5 avg star rating.

4. They have 14 combined 4 stars and no 5 starts, over 10 teams. The Big Ten, even taking out Ohio State has 34 4 star recruits over 13 teams.

5. They have 0 top 75 players and only 4 top 100 players. Oklahoma with 1, Baylor with 1, Texas with 2.

6. They 'own' the third hottest state in recruiting, Texas, and don't have commits from any of the top 15 players in the state.

7, 8, 9 and 10. Your conference can't survive like this!

Yes, yes yes, the season hasn't even started yet and the cycle is only half over, but come on, this is sink or swim time and they are sinking.
