The states growing in population seem apt to generate more "Division 1" programs, some of which could be in line for a P5 slot in time.

Another way that OSU has gotten to this point:  have a high initial population, have a good football program, then simply lag behind the rest in growth.  If Ohio's population doubled these past 25 years, Cincinnati would be in the ACC.  But instead, it's doing the rust belt challenge of nominal growth.

The U of Cincy has a few "issues", starting with a small stadium largely boxed in by other buildings.  They can get some decent recruits that were not up to OSU standards and didn't like Akron or Miami or UK or Indiana.  They have a fairly large commuter student issue as well.  And, it's a "city" school with little fan support outside that metro area.

They seem to have found a fit at HC, so we'll see how it goes from here.

Sounds like South Florida in Tampa.  They don't even have their own stadium.  Lot of potential, though.
