[QUOTE="WVUALLEN, post: 131826343, member: 1112294"] The Big Ten would want any new school to be part of the AAU. The only exception to that rule being Notre Dame. There are 64 AAU schools in the United States and 2 in Canada. Membership in the AAU is by invitation only, and a Membership Committee evaluates non-members and current members for invitation status periodically. In order for schools to be considered, the universities have to pass two phases of indicators, with requirements ranging from memberships in national academies such as the National Academies of Science and Engineering and the number of research and scholarship Ph.D’s approved every year. In 2011, when Nebraska was planning on their move to the Big Ten, controversy rose when they were expelled from AAU. The first time the group expelled a university in 111 years. The expulsion didn’t severely affect Nebraska’s chances of entering they were already approved before expulsion, but it does dim the allure of the university in the eyes of the Big Ten. Currently, every member of the Big Ten except for Nebraska is an AAU member. In order to expand the conference, the Big Ten would want any new school to be part of the AAU. Joining the Big Ten conference has its major benefits, with the notoriety of it being the most stable conference North of the Appalachian Mountains. However, the AAU is a massive hurdle for conferences to overcome. UVA, UNC, Duke, Pitt and Syracuse are the only ACC teams that are AAU. In the Big 12 there is Kansas and Iowa State. Texas is AAU but chose the SEC already. [/QUOTE]
