[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 882615, member: 2426"] I think the conflation of academics and athletics is part of the Big10. Every member of the conference is a member of the alliance. The only member of the alliance who isn't a member of the conference is Chicaco, who was invited when the alliance was formed, had been a Big10 athletic member but dismantled the sports program. Penn State joined the conference and the alliance at the same time. Nebraska joined the conference and the alliance at the same time. Rutgers and Maryland joined the conference and the alliance at the same time. (Same time is relative. Rutgers and Maryland actually "joined" the alliance a year earlier, but had committed to the conference and were waiting for start athletics) Up to this point, no school has been able to join the alliance without joining the conference and vice-versa. The alliance pools purchasing power, resources, and influence. If Vanderbilt were to join the Big10 alliance they would gain access to research data and reports from all of the other Big10 schools. I don't know much about GTRI and how it operates so I can't say how beneficial extra governmental influence and access to the other schools data would be. [/QUOTE]
