It can't be so. AAC teams can't get quality OOC games due to the conferences going to 20 conference games. At least that's what we hear Big East fans saying.
Quote:The schools have not met on each other's court during regular-season play since 1921.
Xavier (last met OSU in 1934 in the regular season) and Dayton (last met in 1988 regular season)
Wow. That is a shame and such a missed opportunity for generations of BB fans. So much history with college basketball in the state of Ohio. Cincy-Ohio St National Title matchups in ‘61 & ‘62. OSU, Cincy, Xavier, & Dayton should playing each other every year.
Ohio St with Greg Oden played Xavier in the NCAA Tournament 10-12 years ago. Believe it was on overtime Buckeye thriller with controversial officiating. Instant classic. That’s college basketball at its height. Then there was Dayton-Ohio St a few years ago where the Flyers pulled out a nailbiter at the end.

Really? From what I've seen, all Big East fans have been saying here is that the Big East has clearly been better than the AAC since the split and is a Power league while the AAC is not. And all of that is correct.
But who has made any claims about the future?
The state of Ohio could easily have an event like Indiana's Crossroads Classic with Indiana, Purdue, Butler, and Notre Dame.
Ohio State, Dayton, Xavier, And Cincinnati could play in any city in the state and draw in quite a few fans.

+1. I would actually think that an Ohio Crossroads event would actually be more dynamic since each of the four programs are in four different conferences (B1G, A10, BE, AAC). That allows for new matchups each and every season (whereas Indiana and Purdue are blocked due to their B1G affiliations).

It could, but up until now Ohio State has been against it. I'm not sure if they are still in favor of it, but they are more willing to listen right now. Part of the hang up from what I have heard is that Ohio State wants it in Columbus every year and UC,XU and Dayton are against it. The other issue is UC and XU want to keep the Crosstown Shootout as a separate event, and don't want to water down the series by playing twice in a season.

They could set it up just like the Crossroads Classic, just pretend XU and UC are in the same conference. So you’d have OSU vs UC and XU vs UD one year, then OSU vs XU and UC vs UD the next year. The casualties are OSU vs UD and ND vs Butler.

There was a time where all 4 south Ohio schools played in football, Xavier, Cincinnati, Dayton and Miami. But Xavier dropped football and Dayton dropped scholarships.

Xavier cut their program in 1973. UD stopped offering athletic scholarships in football in 1977.
There's rumblings that UC and Ohio State are working on extending this series and the Ohio Crossroads Classic is several years away from being a possibility.
The title of the thread is somewhat misleading. It's kind of like if LSU and UL-Monroe announced a football game and a ULM fan called it "ending decades of bad blood". That would be wrong because that phrase implies kind of a dispute among equals, like bad blood between Michigan and Alabama or bad blood between UCLA and Stanford. It implies that there are substantial folks at both schools who spend time thinking about the other as a rival of some kind.
Cincy can have "bad blood" with a school like Xavier or Akron, but not Ohio State. Ohio State doesn't care about Cincy in the same way LSU could doesn't about ULM. In both cases, the "bad blood" is all on one side - the lesser school nursing a wound because the Big Time school ignores them.

I’m surprised you didn’t add that the only reason Cincinnati has 2 National Titles is because it was their Super Bowl and OSU wasn’t motivated for the game.

Cincy has two very valid national titles, but IIRC, they both happened before I was born.
It's fair to say the NCAA tournament was just a much smaller deal back then. Wiki says the total attendance for the entire 29-game 1962 tourney was 171,000 which comes to not even 6,000 a game.
That bait taken, surely you realize I was correct about the false equivalence implied by the OP? While many at UC may dwell on tOSU's unwillingness to play games with them, virtually nobody at tOSU gives it a first thought.

Your entire post is flawed. Especially as it relates to lesser school. Cincy is an all time top 15 program and OSU is also. Bad blood can mean many things. Your interpretation is flawed. Can you add anything of value. Why do you have to always demean and belittle.

I will pay attention to someone who went to Ohio State. Criticism from others isn't worth paying much attention to.
