Them getting that status is a joke. Maybe they can sue for the accreditation!! Dumbass nolies. They are stuck in purgatory forever. Sucks to be them. Maybe they can go independent and have their own tv network like Norte dame. The country wants to see a white Indian on a horse running around a football field with a flaming spear!! Oh wait..clown college.
They are stupid, but stupidity gets bailed out way too often. They are going to get a tiny little, meaningless slap on the wrist like usual and in the meantime went undefeated and spanked us two years in a row. I'm sure their fans really couldn't care less and I doubt a single recruit is going to think "I'm not going there." The only delicious thing that occurred this year was them getting left out of the playoffs. For the NCAA to come down on anyone right now while slathering praise over the Hail to the Cheaters is the height of hypocrisy.
They've been trying for decades. Time ain't the thing. What's more, i don't believe the AAU is something you apply for. It's something you are invited into, upon approval of the board which is comprised of reps of the member institutions.
