Message: [QUOTE="Kolumbo, post: 1250078, member: 4613"] The AAU thing is somewhat curious. AAU is one measure that a school has reached a certain level of prestige academically. But not all schools that have achieved such levels of success are AAU. So it would seem the B1G should seek high quality schools and not necessarily just schools belonging to a specific organization. The old form vs. function, if you will. Style vs. substance. New England has a population of about 15 million, which would be 5th behind Cali, Texas, FL, and NY. Add in part of the NYC market and forgetaboutit. MA 6,745,408 46% CT 3,596,677 24% ME 1,330,089 9% NH 1,326,813 9% RI 1,055,173 7% VT 626,562 4% Total 14,680,722 100% Remarkable that CT has more folks than either Iowa, Miss, Arkansas, Utah, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, Nebraska, or WV.
