Minor nit, but Nebraska is no longer in the AAU (first member ever to be voted out, IIRC, although others have left voluntarily). So that's 11 of 12 in the B1G.KC Scott wrote:Kaley is the quintessential fatass lacking any self discipline or impulse control. Every thread looks like a deep fried twinkie to him.

Case in point
Fatass didn't know that the SEC only had two AAU rated schools Vandy and Florida. Part of why they wanted aTm & Mizzou was that accreditation.Kansas City Kid wrote: This is a HUGE step up academically, sports-wise, and fiscally for MIZZOU.....much more than the Big 10 would have been
Oh yea, and all 12 schools in the Big 10 are AAU
Take a think lap, Tubby
And while AAU membership is prestigious, and I obviously have a bias in this regard, I wouldn't quite call it the be-all and end-all of discussion as to what constitutes a great academic university. There are plenty of outstanding academic institutions that are not AAU members. Dartmouth, Georgetown, and my alma mater come to mind rather quickly in that regard.
I heard that same description as well, although it was several months ago and in a drastically different context. At the time, it looked like the Texas and Oklahoma schools were headed to the Pac-12, the Big XII was about to implode with the Big East and/or ACC picking up the scraps. A few months changed things dramatically.Sudden Sam wrote:I heard Missouri described yesterday as "the ugly girl at the end of the bar at closing time with nowhere to go".
