Today is a great day for the University of Cincinnati, they will join a conference that is big time and still has Baylor, Oklahoma State, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, TCU, Texas Tech and West Virginia.
It seems UC will be joining the conference in 2023 after they work out their AAC exit fee which will be more than the normal $10 million because they will leave earlier than the 27 month turnaround.
