Same applies here. If your school makes itself better in hopes of expansion, then worst case you just have a better school.

Well that depends on how you made yourself better. Did you grow yourself in a healthy way through increased donations and sponsorship's or did you try to grow as quickly as possibly using student fees and other long term unsustainable sources with the hope that future P5 TV money would bail you out? If it's the former then yeah worst case scenario is you just have bettered your program for the long term. If it's the latter then you might be screwed financially.

Cincinnati spent $85M to build a beautiful, new pavilion with 1,100 club seats and 53 suites - all so a local rich guy can park his minor league soccer team in the stadium with hopes the MLS comes calling.

Yay.

The UC Nippert Stadium improvements were underway even before Cincinnati was awarded the minor league soccer franchise. And that rich Cincinnati family donated millions to UC's Varsity Village, UC''s College of Business and just donated $11 million toward a new home for the UC College of Business.

Folks whining about how they were treated byt he B12 is sour grape city. The B12 owes you nothing and you had every right to not participate. The B12 concluded that there just wasn't two suitable candidates at this time, that is why they did their due diligence. Should they have added two teams just to appease the 11 participants and/or the media/fans?

Due diligence? 03-lmfao03-lmfao03-lmfao03-lmfao03-lmfao03-lmfao03-lmfao

Sure skippy whatever you say.

They didn't, jif?

no...it was all a bluff to shake the networks down for more money. Read the leaked notes from the meeting this week. It was a joke. The fact they paid two independent firms $100,000 for advice, the advice was to expand because it works out for the B12 i the long run on multiple levels and then they ignored the advice speaks volumes. OU and Texas had no intention of this and they are leaving sooner or later. I guess the good news is, the AAC will look a lot better in a few years with some current B12 teams in it.

What leaked notes?
