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

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

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

The only people who covet AAU membership are univ admins and marketing folk

33laszlo99 • 06/05/23 07:47 AM ET

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

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