I don't think that the RU and UMD adds are working out the way the B1G had hoped. I doubt that they will expand based purely on potential again. Their next round of expansion A) won't be for a couple of years, and B) will involve proven products.

I also doubt that AAU status still matters THAT much to the B1G. Supposedly Wisconsin (and at least two other B1G universities) voted against Nebraska's continued inclusion in the AAU (after Nebraska had agreed to join the B1G). THAT is how much they care about being in the a conference with AAU members. Also, I think that PSU just wants rivals, and let's be honest, RU and UMD leave a lot to be desired in that department. Furthermore, Nebraksa isn't in the AAU, so I don't see them pointing fingers either. Finally, I don't see RU or UMD caring either. Financial issues aside, UMD was as happy as a clam in the ACC, which isn't all AAU , and RU spent the last 20 years in the BIG EAST. I am guessing that, like PSU, they just don't want to feel like they are on an island. By my count that's at least 7/14 B1G universities that would easily look the other way under the right circumstances.
