Message: [QUOTE="buddy, post: 5071438, member: 3489"] Wise up. Membership is by invitation only with no defined criteria. Suppose Big Ten membership requires AAU membership and a certain school is viewed by the Big 10 as someone they would like in their conference. Say, Michigan representative lobbies other members to invite that particular school ( say, ND). There is no doubt that they would be swayed for a quid pro quo. Merit is important. There are many schools that could easily be in the AAU, but as they say it is not what you know, but whom you know that matters. [/QUOTE]
