One thing to remember here, it looks like a couple of the new AAU members had some help from existing AAU members to gain membership. If the Big 10 wants UConn as a Big 10 member, maybe we too can get backers among existing AAU members who also are in the Big 10. That way, like Notre Dame, USF or Arizona State, we can leapfrog over some of the leading contenders for AAU membership. If UConn gets the AAU membership, that is one less hurdle to get into the Big 10. Then, all we have to worry about is winning football games.
