[QUOTE="stinger 1957, post: 886842, member: 1682"] eetech, I'm not saying what you are saying about UT Austin and also what you say about A&M are going to happen, but it would not surprise me at all. Think you could be right. When I'm looking at the Big 10 I keep 2 things in mind that seem rather apparent to me. They want big media mkts and the schools, with one exception of ND, have to be AAU schools. They have said they would take ND not being an AAU school. What I have put together that is behind the AAU requirement is that they, and I agree, believe the survival chances of an AAU school are much better in the higher education field. There are many and I am one of them that believe education in the USA is in for some drastic changes in the future. The engineering and technological schools will have the best chances it seems is the thinking. There is one other thing that is noticeable and that is the Big 10 seems to also want to follow the NFL in where they go/ who they take in , but that is probably more a function of big media mkts as that is a preference of the NFL, not every case, IE: Green Bay, New Orleans and maybe another case or two I'm not thinking about. VT, Miami, Clemson are not AAU schools. Clemson brings nothing to the table in the way of noticeable media mkts, neither does FSU. Appears schools like Ole Miss, MSU, Auburn, ARK and others do not bring much to the table when it comes to long term $, basically media mkts. By the way UT Austin, A&M are both AAU schools. Mizzou is AAU, St. Louis (21) and KC (33) media mkts. UF is AAU, not sure they would go or not.

Questionable if Big would want UVA, they don't carry a lot of eyes I've read somewhere, people in the DC/Baltimore mkt don't pay much attention to them. Big 10 already has PA with Penn State. Obviously I don't know how any of this comes out, but it will get interesting it appears. [/QUOTE]
