Last time I checked, main campus is in the city of Cincinnati. What is there to "assimilate"? I would think the school wants people to experience the World class beautiful main campus, not bar hop downtown. I can see how it benefits places like UL, where it's basically a powerhouse athletic program with a commuter school on a crappy nondescript campus attached to it. That's not the case here. Further development of the area around our campus by having consistent high draw events at the school like college basketball and football is better for the interests of the university.
The experiment of trying to move football and basketball downtown has already been tried here and found to be dismal failures.

That was a long time ago. At that time both programs were not good, fan support was equally as bad.

Football moved WVU and UofL games down to PBS 3 years ago and it was a failure. That is hardly a long time ago.
