IF the B1G sees Connecticut as adding value to their league within whatever time frame they are looking at (5, 10, 25 or 50 years), than it would be in the interest of the league to promote a Connecticut admission to the AAU to maintain the prestige of their conference and consortium (CIC). Under those circumstances, I can see Connecticut getting an AAU invite with the prestige and reputation of the B1G taking preference over the prestige and reputation of the AAU.
Upstater, does the B1G have the AAU have the votes and /or throw weight to make that happen?
