...since that's a requirement for B1X membership...lol VT has more research $$$$$ than several current AAU members, but the last time I checked (several years ago), we wouldn't fall in the top half in AAU research $$$$$. Not sure if that was before our MD med school was up and running "full steam."

AAU is about research dollars. In academic circles, classroom and research -- LocalExperts Aug 07, 2022 at 07:01 PM ET

Yep. Nebraska was added when they knew they were losing AAU. ND’s not AAU -- BBBDatVT_ Aug 07, 2022 at 06:22 PM ET

Have to agree. UNC would be the prize... -- Old Line Hokie Aug 07, 2022 at 11:44 AM ET
