1) UNC-top hoops, academics doubt they would come as long as Brown is there and not a great fit
2) UVA-great academics, good baseball- see no advantage here
3) Va Tech-football culture, regional w/TN, KY-great regional rivalries also strong alum in the DMV market
4) NC State-better fit culturally and still delivers the NC TV market
5) FSU-football, will go B1G if you don’t-see no value in adding and lack being an AAU member so doubt the B10 either
6) Clemson-same reasons I listed for FSU
7) Ga Tech-no value
8) Louisville-no value
Nebraska is currently the only B10 school that is not an AAU member. When they were voted in to join the conference they were but lost their membership a few months before actually joining. They were still let in at that point with a hope they could rejoin. Oregon, Washington, USC, and UCLA are all members of AAU for research.
