[QUOTE="Charleston Mountie, post: 129569681, member: 1427666"] Your opinion noted but as I have pointed it out before, it is shared by no one. Your facts are wrong. You stated ESPN called the shots in the Big Ten, Fox has the heavy lifting deal there and ESPN just lost what portion they had with the Big Ten. You stated Rutgers was losing its AAU stated and it isn't. You then correct it to say Nebraska and not Rutgers. But Nebraska is not in the process of losing its AAU status; it lost it in 2011. Nebraska and the Big Ten was well aware of the metrics issue Nebraska had with the AAU scoring system, but Nebraska had been having such issues for more than a decade and had been successful in retaining their standing in spite of the changing landscape. There was every reason to believe they would pass merit in the 2011 vote, but as we know they did not. The vote was very close and the report was littered with verbage stating how Nebraska could reenter membership - namely incorporating their medical school back into the auspices and seeking some redress for their USDA funded extensive agricultural research - which the AAU does not credit. The Big Ten was in talks with Nebraska at least by 2008 and some 2007 over their move to the Big Ten. During this time the AAU was no an issue but Nebraska's Chancellor Harvey Perlman said, "I doubt that our application would've been accepted had we not been a member of the AAU." So when someone challenges your position and questions your facts you issue a challenge to a bet that has a timeframe of a decade and if they don't agree you accept their lack thereof as self-admission of idiot status. Do you not realize how such things reduce the impression of others about you to the level of Junior High School? As a result of this ploy, you do not strike me as particularly bright, but it is often that case that otherwise brilliant people do not speak well through text. [/QUOTE]
