I'm not so sure about that. UC is the one school in Ohio that could prove to be problematic for OSU. Cincy isn't really a quintessentially Ohio anyway. It's always been it's own thing due to the southern influence and historical interconnectedness with southen river port cities.
They have a fanbase already for their basketball program, those fans generally want to be UC football fans over Ohio State fans. And UC being in the Big 12 will elevate the program, and increase the revenue to keep UC playing at a higher level than they ever have. It's entirely possible to me that UC carves out a chuck of southern Ohio for themselves and snakes some big time recruits from OSU every year going forward.
BTW, I grew up in Cincy and have a lot of family and friend ties to both UC and OSU. Not talking out of my arse here.
