Oh, I see. As in "connected to eventual Big 10 membership"? Fair enough. I was just saying that regardless of the Big 10, Miami should already be in the AAU. I'm sure that when TUFTS got invited, it wasn't a prelude to a Big 10 invitation. And, yes, I'm expressing some bitterness. I'm...

So people are supposed to read your inaccurate, misleading posts, and then just say nothing, all because you belatedly claim "inside knowledge"? Like Rusty, your comeback failed.

You may very well be correct. But that also makes my question even more relevant. I get your comments on ND, but I seriously doubt the AAU was just sitting around thinking "if only we can get Texas A&M or the University of Utah...". This isn't a football conference and it's not fraternity...

You never said any of that. Maybe you want to blame it on your being inarticulate. That's up to you. Keep up your attempts at hilarity. Claim that you have "inside knowledge" while asking someone else to "share sources of specific information". Hilarious. I've already posted the quote...

So your claim is that Nebraska will permanently get a reduced Big 10 share (since they are never going to move their med school "on campus" or abandon all their agri-research)? Yeah, that's some DIFFERENT hilarious misinformation. I can assure you, Nebraska does not have an ongoing reduction...

Don't be a passive-aggressive whiner. This has nothing to do with me "feeling important". You made the post, now you are trying to claim that you didn't type the words that you typed, just because someone corrected you on your misinformation. Take the L and walk away.

Patently false. Demonstrably, provably false. OPERATIONALLY, Donna supported the move from the BE to the ACC just BECAUSE it generated more annual revenue for the Athletic Department. There was no major "academic" rationale for the ACC over the BE, as there would be in joining the Big 10...

I'm not responding to any one particular poster, but we need to be clear about this. The Big 10 is not just "good academics" in an amorphous sense of the phrase. The Big 10 has REQUIRED member schools (and newly applying schools) to be AAU members. The AAU is not just "Top 25" or "Top 40"...

Yeah you did. MichiCANE said: They took Nebraska and they’re not AAU rustywalkedaway said: They were, then they lost it during the realignment process. The Big 10 knew it was coming and reduced their otherwise equal medal rights share until they got re-accredited.

Nebraska was not readmitted to the AAU.

Ten years ago, I would agree. But with the Rust Belt shedding population every single year to Florida, there is a different sense of practicality now. Not to mention that the cable TV revenue for the Big 10 Network would receive a healthy boost from moving into a new state. The THIRD-LARGEST...

Ordinarily, I would say "taking it up the **** chute from older out-of-shape men" is Ped State's brand, but, yes, the Big 10 refs didn't do the ****tany Lines any favors for the first decade or two of Big 10 membership.

"Chancellor Harvey Perlman said that the lack of an on-campus medical school (the Medical Center is a separate campus of the University of Nebraska system) and the AAU's disregarding of USDA-funded agricultural research in its metrics hurt the university's performance in the association's...
