The Cincinnati Enquirer's Jason Williams did some fine reporting over the weekend, pulling the hood off the University of Cincinnati's attempt to join the Big 12.
The university released emails, travel records and other documents to the Enquirer, providing insight into UC’s bid to become a member of the Big 12 in the event the conference expands.
What the Enquirer found:
1. Oklahoma President David Boren appears to be intrigued by Cincinnati.
"You are truly an outstanding leader and knowing that you are at the helm in Cincinnati makes me even more inclined to support your cause," Boren wrote in an email to UC president Santa Ono.
