[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129488727, member: 1428007"] Tramel's OPINION might matter if JIM DELANEY-commissioner of the Big Ten hadn't said this: 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" [URL]http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2010-05-18/sports/ct-spt-0519-bits-big-ten-meetings--20100518_1_big-ten-expansion-commissioner-jim-delany-rutgers[/URL] That and the fact that the Big Ten investigated adding OU previously which would not, could not be if AAU status were the only consideration. Nebraska's president after being kicked out of the AAU had this to say about Big Ten requirements: "It's whether you fit the profile of the (AAU) ranking system," he said, "not whether you're a quality institution."
