You do realize that both Oregon and Washington are AAU, right? Same thing with UCLA and USC?

Yes, and?

Has the B1G ever passed on a big time school for not being AAU? No one was surprised when Nebraska lost AAU status. Nebraska had been trending down for years because the plains region has lost people and power over the past several decades, so Delaney is either an ignorant fool or a liar.

The B1G has tried to add Notre Dame for decades, and Notre Dame wasn’t AAU until a year or two ago. How do you explain that?

“We care so much about academics we’ve added Oregon before Stanford.” what a joke.

They’ve always taken the best pieces they could off the board. Because the B1G is located in states that were historically highly populated, the major universities in those states happen to be AAU members.

If you think the declining states in the Midwest are going to pass on a pipeline to the rapidly growing south, you’re kidding yourself.
