Uconn, WV, Rutgers to big 12?

Can someone explain what AAU status is and how to get it? Every time I see it mentioned I just keep thinking back to the days of playing AAU baseball.

I heard the RU AD on with Francesa last week. It sounded to me like RU would not be interested in the Big 12 because of geography where as Herbst downplayed it's importance for UConn

Upstater covered what it is. To get in you need to be nominated and seconded by current members and then voted in (this doesn't happen very often, normally once, occasionally twice a decade).

It is in part a who you know type of deal to get nominated.
