AAU is also a joke. But both seem to matter to the B1G.

I haven't seen it discussed here, but I don't see the B1G adding schools

If your medical school(s) new, & your progressing toward that requirement,
Stech • 12/11/23 08:28 AM ET
It's not a requirement
Pylons • 12/11/23 10:37 AM ET
Thanks for the clarity. Even though as you said it’s not a requirement,

Heard Nebraska got the boot because the AAU devaluated Ag research.
EDGEMAN • 12/11/23 11:41 AM ET
Nebraska's other academic rankings aren't very good.

USN&WR ratings are a joke

Purdue doesn't have a medical school, but I believe there's some type of

Sounds like our medical engineering collaboration with the WF med school**
EDGEMAN • 12/11/23 09:21 AM ET
It is Medical Research, but most don’t have it without a Medical School w/
Stech • 12/11/23 08:45 AM ET
Speaking of med schools, isn't VT's MD school fairly small?
EDGEMAN • 12/11/23 11:44 AM ET
I think it’s small, and I know it’s new comparatively speaking.**

IF B1G expands by poaching the ACC, I see the likely candidates being
Marooned • 12/10/23 11:37 PM ET
I don't see GT. Their AD and students care less about football
IV_Hokie12 • 12/11/23 12:02 PM ET
GT is not in the Mag 7 +1 from all reports I have seen, but if ND doesn’t
Stech • 12/11/23 08:44 AM ET
Would guess ND isn't "100% onboard" with the "pay for play division."**
EDGEMAN • 12/11/23 01:06 PM ET
Maybe not. but I also don't see them in tier 2 football either.**
Stech • 12/11/23 08:18 PM ET
Aren't UNC and NC State tied together more than VT and UVA? Not being
Tuckahokie • 12/11/23 06:23 AM ET
I agree with Marooned's thought process. I would say possibly GT, Miami
vtdasc90 • 12/11/23 08:25 AM ET
Was the AAU extending an invitation to Miami a message from the B1X...
EDGEMAN • 12/11/23 11:49 AM ET
I think the Miami membership is interesting also.**
vtdasc90 • 12/12/23 09:25 PM ET
The recent addition of ND is interesting also.**
vtdasc90 • 12/12/23 09:27 PM ET
I can see KU as being a B1G candidate because of their AAU membership and
vtdasc90 • 12/11/23 08:39 AM ET
It's not discussed much, but I don't think there are any brands left in
Big12 guy • 12/10/23 06:31 PM ET
I don't think of either Washington or Oregon as national brands. But the
wwhokie1 • 12/11/23 12:24 PM ET
They fell in the B1G's lap at a discount. **
tarheelblue • 12/11/23 12:33 PM ET
Markets aren't a thing of the past. Its just that the ACC got the market
IV_Hokie12 • 12/11/23 12:11 PM ET
If what you say is true
Marooned • 12/10/23 09:35 PM ET
This is the answer. **
Big12 guy • 12/10/23 10:23 PM ET
"Markets are a thing of the past"?????
VTCALS72 • 12/10/23 09:16 PM ET
I'm saying, the football consolidation is all but over. It's done. Except
Big12 guy • 12/10/23 10:22 PM ET
Sure but I am saying there is more than just football teams now
VTCALS72 • 12/11/23 09:44 AM ET
FSU has good academic rankings and will probably be AAU in the next decade.**
tarheelblue • 12/10/23 04:57 PM ET
mmmmm...
daveinop • 12/10/23 06:33 PM ET
Then B1G commish Kevin Warren said at the time that it is NOT a requirement
Maroon Baboon • 12/10/23 04:28 PM ET
The clown college more than makes up for it.**
Truthahn • 12/10/23 04:36 PM ET
It has been rumored, AAU membership is no longer an absolute.
