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

ain't one of them. They are probably as political, opportunistic and corrupt as so many other institutions today. The list of schools just named is perplexing to say the least. I'm not saying the B1G schools were pulling the strings here, but people who think this certainly have a point.

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

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
Maroon Baboon • 06/05/23 09:14 AM ET
Do we know how much support ND garnered in previous votes? Maybe they just
