Some of the more recent additions...

were from the Rocky Mountain region (Utah, ASU) and Florida (USF and Miami). Notre Dame got accepted despite low R&D rankings. I think Florida State will get in soon because of their location and future potential. "If" the Big 10 wants FSU, I'm sure every AAU member in that conference will support FSU. Georgia and NC State are two other Southern schools that have a chance of getting in along with Virginia Tech. I'd be surprised if any schools get accepted in the next 2-3 years or even longer.

AAU values Med Schools, us and FSU are new comparatively speaking to other

We have both a med school, and a medical bio-engineering research center.

Agreed we have made big strides, history does show the AAU values longevity
Stech 08/19/25 10:49 AM ET
Indeed

Yes agree, that’s very obviously been what he is working on.**

The AAU keeps moving the goalposts on criteria for admission to the club.

I wouldn't be surprised if we made it in the next round.

Seems they have a bias toward Southern schools, as only 12 of the 71

It wouldn't hurt, but then there is Buffalo. It doesn't help. **

AAU status would marginally help, but

No doubt. **
