Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Here's an older article (June 2, 2023) that I had missed; but it is interesting. Six additional schools have been admitted to AAU as new members:

This leads us back to why this week’s announcement is important for the future of college athletics. The three schools here that are of special intrigue are Arizona State, Miami, and Notre Dame.
Just sayin': It is interesting to know that Notre Dame and Miami are now AAU schools.

They are good teams. They will benefit and lose out due to travel time to games by the various teams. But, tough guys and wimps...reality check coming very quickly.

I'm curious to see if the roster composition is Big 10 ready-in terms of play style and weather.
Oregon is obviously a top team, but the others I'm not so sure about.

The modeling is tricky, as college sports remain a moving target. This ESPN deal would run through the 2031 season, and it's naïve to think the conference map will look the same as it does today. One high-ranking official involved in the discussions told ESPN on Wednesday that the presidents and chancellors in both the SEC and Big Ten are having conversations about whether to continue their NCAA membership. It's a move that would impact and could possibly derail the TV agreement.
"Those conversations are happening," the source said, adding some feel "pretty strongly about pulling away. I'd say very strongly."

Wouldn't it be nice if that were feasible
But ESPiN took in over $17B in revenue in 2023
Disney's entertainment arm took in a lot more than double the revenue of the Sports arm (including ESPN), the sports arm earned > 70% more profit.
Think about that
> 70% more profit
On 42% of the revenue
If Disney has any sense at all, they'll pour MORE money into ESPN
And as long as they have billions of dollars; they'll have a seat at the table
