I think it's a bit of a stretch to say the Big Ten's academic reputation is "sterling." However, the Big Ten tends to be a bit delusionally self-absorbed, and there is no way they will let in a school deemed unworthy of their academic "status." In that regard, I would agree that schools like Cincy have no chance, especially considering their rival would be the golden child of the Big Ten- OSU (and OSU would have a shit fit if they let Cincy in.....not being the best football team in OH? WHAT?!). I think it will end up being Pitt; they have the academics, the student and alumni support, and they are much more within the region of the Big Ten than Missouri.
