Man, these Bleacher Report articles are hilarious. I am literally wiping tears of laughter from this one:
It's fairly obvious some of the Brethren simply feel that the BYU faculty and student-body shouldn’t be out competing for federal research grants with Utah State. There are genuine fears that BYU being part of a league of such research institutions might further diminish Utah State's academic and athletic relevance to that of Weber State, Utah Valley and Southern Utah Universities."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

hey, don't shoot the messenger!
If BYU were to join the Big 12 (seven AAU affiliated schools prior to the losses starting in 2010) or even more so the Pac-12 (next to only the Big-Ten in overall AAU affiliation), BYU becomes more exposed to the academic culture that promotes graduate research level work.

I wonder where they get these authors. It looks like just about anybody can be a BR "correspondent". Here is the profile page for the author of that article:Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Post

Not to mention that the seven AAU universites in the Big 12 is now just three:Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Posthey, don't shoot the messenger!

Iowa St., Kansas, and Texas
Here's a quick AUU breakdown by BCS conference:
Big Ten: 11
Pac-12: 8
ACC: 6 (counted Ptt in ACC)
SEC: 4
Big 12: 3
Big East: 1
So the SEC now has more AAU universities than the Big 12 and few would make the claim that joining the SEC "exposes a university to the academic culture that promotes graduate research level work".“Not the victory but the action. Not the goal but the game. In the deed the glory.”

Now that BYU has added billions to its coffers, we don't need no stinking Big 12!
