But not so much for the Big Ten. Kansas may be in the AAU but most academic rankings put it closer to Nebraska and Oklahoma than to Rutgers and MD. Kansas would be the 2nd lowest academic rated school in the BigTen if it were added, just barely ahead of Nebraska. The academic elites in the BigTen are not excited about Kansas.

What a load of sh!t. B1G was so concerned about academics that they decided that Nebraska was the right call because it checked ALL the boxes....Too bad that it was well known that Nebraska was more than likely losing that AAU status. Hell, at least 2 B1G schools voted them out of the AAU. Kansas gets invited to another P5 conference only if the hypothetical conference can expect to make more money in any combination of TV contract renewals, access to new or better paying bowls and improved BB/FB cache to help drive ratings (for advertising/marketing of the schools). Everything else is just "nice to have", but far from critical.
