The Alliance already looks like an epic fail to everyone outside of those involved with it. Adding or not adding Ohio won't make much of a difference.

Based on what? Media who laugh at every move CONFS have made? They laughed at Nebraska leaving all their longtime rivalries to join the Big 10. They laughed at the Legends & Leaders names of the Big 10 divisions. They laughed at TCU hopping from conf to conf before landing in the Big 12. They laughed at WVU going to Big 12 and paying $20 mil plus. They laughed at the Big East having a team in California and the rest it added. They've laughed at CUSA & the MTNWAC West merging. This whole thing has been FUBAR, but after the dust settles you still will be looking at the schools in the CONFS, and CUSA kept the prime rib of their football teams and though we lost Memphis hoops, UNLV & New Mexico bring excellent hoops to be added. There is plenty to gain no matter what the talking heads in the media say while trying to get people to read their print.
