Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 4908834, member: 622"] Too many people put stock in the B1G's preference for schools with AAU affiliation. However, UNL lost their AAU status- the B1G was aware this was happening. SU was on their targets list and ND tops their target lat. AAU status is not a deal breaker, it just means the school needs other qualifying elements to be sufficient to garner their attention. FSU would be near the bottom of the B1G's academic standing but likely acceptable. FSU brings in the third largest state as a new market. Just my take but FSU would be acceptable. What is not clear is whether the B1G wants to be in this mess at the moment, most expansion has been done in bite size pieces. If FSU falls and the dominoes fall, the SEC and B1G will want to grab the best of the rest as soon as possible. Only the B1G and the SEC can really say what they will do. [/QUOTE]
