UFC is sitting in a killer spot. Huge enrollment, Miami down longer than us, in the middle of little more like bigger Cuba, whom love to support local teams when they are doing good. Something they could easily do in the BIG 12 with the B12's best seat in the FL recruiting house and an open recruiting trail into Texas where they will play multiple games a year now as a P5 school. Ten mill more a year over the ACC teams (plus the influx of another 12+ mill more a year than they're used to having from a P5's TV miney), in it's area will go along way towards keeping Miami right down there with corn aggy where it belongs, and closing the gap/pressuring FSU for the #2 spot in Florida.
Cinci won't challenge OSU, it will snag some recruits from IL, IN, IA, etc. that would've gone to the BIG 10 smaller schools. It will however put a hurt on several ACC schools in recruiting. Especially since (like UFC) it's had relevant seasonS since Hitler invaded Poland. It's seen major bowl, BCS, and the playoffs.(unlike us... OU still sucks either way).
