Something happened - my mistake - and that source decided to ignore me. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B]‏ @theDudeofWV[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/882360920185462784']Jul 4[/URL] Until recently that is...

It is a very fair question whether a non-AAU team would be taken by the Big Ten in modern times.
