Didn't mean to offend you. I just think there are some glaring oddballs in the AAU group, and some outside the group. The absence of schools like ND only proves that membership has less to do with scholastic quality and more to do with political reach-arounds and cronyism. I think Duke, UNC, and UVA would be just as well served to find friends on the Senate appropriations committee. Oddly enough, that committee has quite a few SEC graduates that I'm sure funnel money back to our 'inbred yokel' schools. LOL

The 59 AAU receive almost 60% of the U.S. universities research grants and contracts. Duke, NC and Virginia are doing quite well, thank-you. Notre Dame is a good school but it is not one of the top research schools which is what drives AAU membership.
Lets put it this way. AAU membership is to academia what winning the BCS is to college football. Both comes with money and prestige.
