Do we know how much support ND garnered in previous votes? Maybe they just

needed a small bump from a B1G/PAC bloc. My impression of The AAU has been that they were too serious to allow this kind of manipulation. But these days we talk financial terms that did not enter the discussion back in the day.

The hyper-inflated significance of the AAU here never seizes to amaze**

The more schools they invite without inviting us, the more I don't care to

UConn shouldn't join the Big 12 for basketball only...
Old Line Hokie • 06/05/23 11:25 AM ET
Did not mean to imply hoops only. Just my opinion that UConn FB will

Where did this come from? - no one has suggested they would be BB only. **

Does anyone in New York City watch college football or in Boston
OrlandoHokie • 06/04/23 10:05 PM ET
Depends on how you quantify it

From what I can tell college football has low viewership
RJHokie • 06/04/23 10:13 PM ET
NYC, subway Irish are big. Other college sports get minimal interest

I have seen this bantered about. Is it possible? Sure

The only people who covet AAU membership are univ admins and marketing folk
marcbvtgm • 06/07/23 10:48 AM ET
Why would ND garner a huge look from AAU?
Atlee Hokie • 06/04/23 10:28 PM ET
I agree it looks a bit suspect, but I'll defend them a little.
33laszlo99 • 06/05/23 07:47 AM ET
Concur, it's "political".
Atlee Hokie • 06/05/23 07:53 AM ET
The more members they invite and the more arbitrary their invitation

There are very few institutions that I still have faith in. And the AAU
