I don't trust this site, but apparently there is a report out of ESPN radio in Nashville confirming the story. Still not convinced, but I am officially concerned. It would make some sense. I've heard Big 12 cigars thought dealing with BYU was a big headache and weren't interested, and I never thought a school in Florida worked. Cincinnati has made stadium improvements, is in a good market, has a good football and basketball program, and is a pretty obvious choice. Memphis makes more sense after winning the AAC (way to go, Levine! You folks realize if we had beaten UTSA and Tulane and crossed the goal line just once against UCF, we'd be the favorite for the access bowl right now), bringing the Liberty Bowl, a great basketball program, and they provide a sort of travel hub for WVU and Cincy. Actually those three schools form a rough triangle. Supposedly the FedEx CEO/Memphis alum is opening the checkbook. We'll see . . .
