[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129487048, member: 1428007"] AAU status is desired, not a mandated requirement: Excerpt: Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany downplayed that Tuesday by saying: "I don't know about rankings in a magazine. I think AAU membership is an important part of who we are, an important aspect of what makes an institution a research institution that serves the public." But Delany stopped short of saying it would be a requirement for entry — "I don't know what's mandatory because we are not there yet" — and no one believes it would matter in Notre Dame's case.

If you want to deny this- who was it that has approached OU and had ongoing discussions about moving? Other P5 conferences of course. The BIG 12 can't afford to be naive about that-change isn't a option it's a necessity. As for the ACC being left out of playoffs--it's speculation only , not an absolute that UNC would have been left out with one loss this past year, or that FSU would have been left out with one loss the previous year.
