Three years later, USF was invited to join the AAU. I wonder if the stipulation of NU joining the B1G was being able to re-obtain AAU status?

They could cut into profits of both the NFL and NBA. Not without some reins on the NIL. It’s ridiculous that a college freshman can get more money than a professional. I said “get” not earn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are multiple reasons that the NBA is terrible and the draft means nothing. One of the reasons are the one and done’s. Drafting a Jr or Sr has given the young man time to grow (physically, mentally and emotionally). You start to find the leaders, hard workers and busts. The NBA draft is pointless outside of the top 3 because they are just taking a chance on a young player. Back in the 80’s and 90’s at least a 1/3 of the first round had contributing players with careers, not anymore. These NBA executives are foolish with how they do it. The NFL is completely different.

Rank College Name Undergrads 1 University of California-Berkeley 33,078 2 Florida State University 32,936 3 Virginia Tech 30,434 4 North Carolina State 26,254 5 University of Pittsburgh 24,420 6 Clemson University 22,566 7 University of North Carolina 20,029 8 Georgia Tech 18,415 9 University of Virginia 17,444 10 University of Louisville 15,921 11 Syracuse University 15,421 12 University of Miami 12,504 13 Boston College 9,982 14 University of Notre Dame 8,971 15 Stanford Universit 7,841 16 Southern Methodist University 7,056 17 Duke University 6,640 18 Wake Forest University 5,447 Cal will come into the ACC and immediately surpass FSU as the school with the most undergrads. Virginia Tech is third, followed by NC State, Pitt, Clemson, UNC, and finally Georgia Tech (which was at the top in terms of total students). At the bottom of the list once again is Wake Forest with only 5,447 undergraduate students. Duke, SMU, and Stanford are not much bigger. In fact, people are often surprised to learn that Notre Dame is smaller than Boston College, both having fewer than 10 thousand undergraduates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are used to it. After a year or two they would probably be about the same. The new SEC +FSU/Clemson would be a gauntlet. I am just not sure if the SEc really needs Fsu or Clemson. They don't need them, but if the SEC takes FSU & Clemson... They prevent the B1G from tapping into the southern markets. Why let the B1G expand right into Florida? It doesn't seem like they are clamoring for Miami (which they should) or USF (which is my dream). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez, I think the University of Tampa has 10K undergraduates now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schools are going to want to have the players in more games imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
