Cincy vs. Louisville (#7) should resume their annual rivalry in both football and basketball annually. It was one of the oldest continuous rivalries in the country (since 1929) until the demise of the old Big East.

UC should also have more frequent home and home contests with Ohio State, again in both football and basketball. Not annually, but every other year, perhaps. It's been a long time since the Buckeyes have agreed to play Cincy in Cincy and actually showed up, maybe because they were damned lucky to escape with a late 4th quarter victory the last time they played there.

UC and tOSU should definitely play every year on the hardwood. UC, OSU, Xavier and Dayton should kick off the season with an exempt tournament.
