Using the City demographics for the student body isn't entirely conducive. The university is much more state wide then it was even 10 years ago. There are a very large percentage of students coming from Columbus and Cleveland.

You get a better comparison by using the demographics of the state and surrounding.

Ohio:
White - 9,539,437 - 82%
Black or African American- 1,407,681 - 12%
Hispanic or Latino - 354,674 - 3%

Indiana:
White - 5,467,906 - 84%
Black or African American - 591,397 - 9%
Hispanic or Latino - 389,707 - 6%

Kentucky:
White - 3,809,537 - 87%
Black or African American - 337,520 - 7%
Hispanic or Latino - 132,836 - 3%

Totals:

White - 18,816,880 - 84%
Black or African American - 2,336,598 - 11%
Hispanic or Latino - 877,217 - 4%

It ends up being much closer then purely that of Cincinnati.

You have to be realistic about where the majority of your students come from, as well as where the eyeballs for TV come from.

You would need to weight your figures on demographics for any kind of realistic glimpse into where students come from, and where UC sports penetrates TV viewership.

It's not all of Ohio... I doubt UC even penetrates the county just to the north of Hamilton County more than Ohio State and Miami (OH) for eyes on TV sporting events... much less other counties in the state.

Forget Kentucky and Indiana once you get more than 5 miles over the state line (if that).

We are talking about attendance at games, and eyes on games for TV.

Majority attendance for basketball is probably a 25-mile radius from campus... football maybe up to a 35-40 mile radius for the majority at a game.

Now, if you carry a state name on your chest you can bounce those distances out quite a bit, kind of the nature of college sports as opposed to the pros when it comes to eyes on TV games. Winning also will bounce your numbers.

I got a chuckle from this, from the person who trolls most threads.
