With just a month left until the Big 12 votes on whether or not to expand, signs are continually pointing toward a yes in that regard. That bodes well for Cincinnati.
I know a thing or two about changing conferences. For the last year and change I have been a regular contributor at a little site called Big East Coast Bias. (It covers the Big East conference, a spurned lover of Cincinnati's for those with extremely terrible short term memories.)
This week, I took over as the site manager here at DTD, shifting my allegiance from the Big East to the Big East's cousin, the American Athletic Conference.
