Cincinnati wants the ACC to know about their upcoming stadium renovations, sending presidents of ACC schools videos detailing the $70 million project - as well as Christmas cards about the upgrades.

The Bearcats were left behind in the Big East, a conference which was decimated in the recent wave of conference expansions. Now, it's just Cincinnati, UConn, and some newcomers like Tulane and East Carolina - far from a power conference. It's no surprise Cincinnati wants out - hence the Christmas cards.

The $70 million expansion to Nippert Stadium will add box seats, loges, and private suites to the stadium. A new Big East TV contract reeled in just $30 million for the whole conference, while ACC schools will easily make over $10 million per school on TV rights.
