When do we get to the point where all of us admit that we barely know what the AAU is, let alone what their plans are or how they operate?

If you guys are ready, I'm there.

ALL I KNOW IS WE NEED TO BE PART OF THE CLUB FOR PEOPLE TO LIKE US AND I WANT PEOPLE TO LIKE US

Also, Upstater - did not know there was such a thing as "lobbyist pork" before today, so thank you for that.

There's also hobbyist pork. But I leave that to your google.
 
I had no idea about any AAU stuff until the big 10 expansion of a few years ago.

We're not really sure what the AAU is or does, but it sounds pretty snazzy to have a member's club card.

I want to know how a school gets to have the word "The" in front of its name? Why is it The John's Hopkins University. Why is it The Pennsylvania State University and why is it just University of Florida? How come only some NFL players on Sunday Night Football get to say THE blah blah blah college? I want it to be THE University of Connecticut. THE UConn.

It seems to have to do with the placement of the 'university' in the name.

While the University of Connecticut is obviously the university of the state of Connecticut, things are less clear for Ohio State University or Pennsylvania State University.

Are they the Ohio state university or are they just an Ohio state university? This question was debated endlessly by scholars, citizens and people who make college tee shirts. It wasn't until someone said, "Hey, duck* this. Let's own this bitch!" that a solution was found.

They stuck a "The" in front of Ohio State and Penn State and then instructed their former players in the NFL to be sure to say it that way during their MNF intros. (At around the same time, former Miami players began to say they were from the "U", but that's only because they frequently forgot the word "Miami" or even that the place where they had spent their college-aged years was in fact a university and not, as they believed, a sleep-away football camp.)

And that is how it happened.

Sleep away football camp? Huh. "Brothel" and "coke party" we're the first words that came to mind for me.

So Cowen was named Chairman of the AAU on 10/24/12. Tulane admitted to BE on 11/26/12. Assuming Uconn led the way for Tulane to be admitted this can only mean Herbst scratched his back now it's his turn...

Tulane was lead to the conference by UCF President Hitt (http://www.orlandosentinel.com/spor...anes-move-to-big-east-20130129,0,6310791.post) but that doesn't mean that SH was vocally against it from an academic profile standpoint and realized the future Husky benefit/connection.
