Like say having Cincy as a football only member of the Big Ten, and IU Hoosier football in the American conference. The Big Ten would still have the Hoosiers for basketball and all other sports, while the Bearcats would still be in the American for basketball and all other sports.

I would bet that this is completely untrue, and that the B1G is glad to have Indiana in football and all other sports and not Cincy.

You're such a P5 apologist that you are not even looking at the opportunities. But just think how much better the SEC could be by replacing Vandy football with Clemson football. But you know your LSU Tigers couldn't keep up with Clemson.

Clemson is in a P5 conference right now, sheesh.

Ducking the question?? IU for Cincy was just an example. It is just one option of many. Clemson for Vandy is more of the real deal, but I believe that you would be just as opposed to it, who, even though it is P5 for P5.

What questions? There's no desire in the B1G to swap Indiana for Cincy, zero.

As for Clemson, many in the SEC would like to see Clemson join, they are a natural geographical and cultural (football first) fit and a big football brand name. But not at the expense of Vanderbilt, nobody wants to see them go. Vandy is well-regarded by the entire SEC.

In any event, invoking Clemson, a major football power and brand, to make a point about Cincy vs Indy was silly, as Cincy is not a major football power or brand.
