Jim Delany discusses AAU, Nebraska 'brand'

Nebraska's removal from the Association of American Universities isn't causing Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany any loss of sleep.

Even if that action had happened a year ago, when the Big Ten began studying NU as a potential member, it wouldn't have affected the school's invitation.

"What was important to us was fit -- geographic, ethical, academic," Delany said ahead of Wednesday's B'nai B'rith charity banquet at Qwest Center Omaha.
