Utah & BYU > Nebraska

Capacity for BSU is 33,600

They're investing in facilities I think. I don't know what the planned new capacity is though.

I've heard expansion to 50k, which would be great

Oh wait, you mean they aren't accredited by the same institution that accredits some other institution. It brings to mind The Rolling Stones' "can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke the same cigarettes as me" line.

No, I meant that they weren't accredited by whatever institution the Pac10 keeps making a stink about. It's the AAU or something or other. I was too lazy to look it up but I was trying to parenthetically describe why the Pac10 was considering leaving out one of the Oklahoma teams.

It is the B10 that is gaga for the AAU. I don't think the P10 is fascinated by it, though many P10 members are AAU members as well.

I'm sure the Pac10 would like to have all their schools be AAU members, but they're only at 7/10 right now so it would be hard to make a big deal out of it. The Big10 is 11/11 so they've got more motivation to keep it up, easy acceptance of an interested Notre Dame notwithstanding.

Oklahoma isn't AAU either.

A lot of good schools aren't. Dartmouth comes to mind. Frankly, some schools that aren't known as particularly great are.

well, I'm confused. I thought the Pac10 was saying the reason they didn't want Tech was that it wasn't AAU.

Tech is tier 3 US news. Like New Mexico.

Also, Carnegie has a competing classification. Utah is rated highest in that, and several schools in the B12 South, including OK St. and Tech, have weak ratings.

and Oklahoma State. I gotcha now.

[Babs]

I think the Oklahoma/Nebraska rivalry should be renewed on a yearly basis with them being in different conferences now. It would add a new level of dislike between the teams.

That's the thing. There was never any dislike. It wasn't ugly like OU-Texas. It was more like Serena and Venus.

The same New Mexico that you put up as your dark horse to join the Pac 10 along with Utah?

You and I have very different opinions on ugly.

I did not laugh. I did not laugh. I did not laugh.

LOL, I forgot about that prediction. Just another thing to point out that SU really doesn't believe that academics is pushing expansion.
