OU and OK State were tied at the hip.  A little game called Bedlam was a symbol of their rivalry.  However, OU knows nothing about loyalty (aka Big 12 -OU screws their tradition rich rivalry with Nebraska). OU skips off with their master, Texas, to the SEC leaving OkState holding the wilting flower bouquet in their hands.   Never say never when money is involved. 

Oh and also - let's not forget Oregon leaving little brother Oregon State behind in what is now a 2 team conference.

I'ld be totally ok if UNC and Wake joined the big 10.  and it would be nice if Nebraska played them every year but alternated which one they played away each year guaranteeing I only have to travel 45 min for a game each year.

It means a lot to the presidents. BUT, football money will override it...or Notre Dame. I heard Miami has good academic credibility like ND. Although I somehow find the hard to believe.  :confucius

Me too, but supposedly it's a very good school.  I'm sure Warren Sapp helped solidify that.

Miami actually has a very good academic reputation. Unfortunately, the thuggish reputation of their football program overshadows it.

On a side note, the Miami fans I met during the Rose Bowl week in 2001/2002 were some of the nicest, most respectful opposing fans I have ever met, which surprised me at the time.

USF took that AAU invite away from FSU last year. FSU isn't close to being invited.

Like Notre Dame, Miami is in the AAU.

Yep.  FSU has an invite to the B1G even without being an AAU member.  They are still a top research and academic university in a state that we would love to get into.  ND keeps standing ground on not joining but the thinking is if FSU and Miami join, ND might be persuaded to join along with another ACC school of their choice.

You've stated this twice as fact. What's your source?

 
Go get Pitt.  That would be a fun "after thanksgiving game" to see them play Penn State every year.  Right after Nebraska/Iowa.   chuckleshuffle

Maybe grab Syracuse for the hoops and give Rutgers a friend.  ;)

And If you steal West Virginia, then it's a whole 'nother partay....

Throw in Stanford for volleyball. NU + PSU + Stan = 21 Nattys
