My money is on Cincy.

At one point I would have said Louisville and Cincy were on roughly equal footing in terms of the realignment beauty pageant.

No way. UL has a monster of a basketball program. When it went to the ACC, UL's basketball program would have been the 22nd highest NCAA football program in terms of revenue. No other basketball program is even close.

I have said it before and I'll say it again, the Big XII really screwed the pooch by not bringing Louisville and Cincinnati along with West Virginia in the initial expansion.

It seemed blatantly obvious but the B12 has always been reactive, not proactive.

I would certainly agree with that, at least it has been over the last stretch of realignment.
