CINCINNATI -- The University of Cincinnati has agreed to move its 2012 football game with Ohio State from Cincinnati to Columbus for nearly $1 million.
UC's athletic director Mike Thomas said Tuesday that Ohio State wanted to opt out of the 2012 game scheduled at Paul Brown Stadium. The Bearcats negotiated to play that game at Ohio State for extra compensation.
The Bearcats also are scheduled to play the Buckeyes in Columbus in 2014, for $375,000, under a 2003 contract.
An Ohio State official said the Buckeyes wanted another home game in 2012.
