The fact that 20% of the country is Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) enough to think the league will exist with the same 10 teams 14 years from now is what boggles the mind.

The Big 10 is the countries leader in research, every team in the Big 10 is AAU accredited. Sure, it's about football money but it's also about the grants and billions in research monies that brings as well.
Nu is a big research university and the prestige (academically) associated with the Big 10 would be great. Only the SEC is lower than the Big 12 academically. Nu would do just fine football wise in the Big 10. Posters here are right by saying that the path to championships would be easier in the Big 12.....But who want's the easy road

yeah, about that.....

Big Ten
All 11 schools are AAU members. ( Before expansion)

Big XII
Colorado, Iowa State, Kansas, Mizzou, Nebraska, Texas, Texas A&M

Big East
Pitt, Rutgers, Syracuse

Pac 10
Arizona, Cal, Oregon, Stanford, UCLA, USC, Washington

ACC
Duke, Georgia Tech, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia

SEC
Florida, Vanderbilt

Mid-majors
Buffalo, Rice, Tulane

If a school is not on this list, its candidacy for Big Ten expansion diminishes dramatically. However the Big Ten's continued interest in non-AAU member Notre Dame shows that this is not an absolute litmus test for conference officials.

i just talked to a good friend from highschool that i haven't talked to in over five years. he's been teaching at nebraska for the last three and told me that the AAU thing is a huge deal for him and his dept. and that getting AAU taken away would absolutely crush them. he also didn't seem worried about losing AAU status or know what bsac is hinting at though, so who knows. bsac has never been wrong before, but i guess there's a first time for everything.

Same. One of the younger guys in my office is a NU alum, summa cum laude. Said nothing to see here. Said losing AAu status would basically invalidate a lot of the academic claims NU makes but that there is no way that would ever happen. I don't even think that is what BSAC was saying. He may have been trying to post in the BBBS thread and hit some turbulence.
