This is stupid. OU is a fine school, but no better than schools like any run of the mill SEC school. Being AAU is great, but not the "end all be all." UGA, Auburn, LSU, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, and SC are all fine schools and I would be proud for my daughter to go to any of them. Obviously not all schools are the same academically, and some have better or more specialized programs than others. But at the end of the day most schools in the SEC are just fine.
I'm sick of hearing about AAU this and AAU that. I'm glad that TAMU is AAU, but more importantly I like being affiliated with thirteen other southern schools that we share a common culture with. THAT is why I'm glad TAMU is in the SEC and not the PAC.

Me too. It was at those meetings sitting next to the UF president that Bowen learned exactly how green the grass was on the UF side of the fence.
The irony is that Texas (along with Rice) worked to get us into the AAU in order to raise the prestige of our state (and maybe the Big 12) and that ended up being our ticket out of town.

AAU is just something the Big 10 can grasp onto. It's made especially dumb by several schools holding membership only by virtue of early entry, which is why a number of those schools would be only average to above average academically in the SEC.
