The SEC works together academically through the SECAC (SEC Academic Consortium). The Universities cooperate on grants, promote cooperation between Universities, cooperate in study abroad and can even borrow each others lab space when necessary to enable the capacity to compete for some grants. Their materials say they are entering phase II which presumably will ramp up the effort to attract more research dollars.
Presumably having more AAU members will enhance the SECAC and help generate more research dollars.
It was modeled after the Big Ten's Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC).
This is mostly about athletics but then again it is also about academics.

Yep....
Again, the PRESIDENTS are making these decisions. Many of them don't care about athletics even close to as much as fans like us do.
They recognize the importance to the SEC and to their own universities brand, but if you've got a case like Mizzou vs WVU....they'll take the significantly better academic school (Mizzou) over the moderately better athletic school (WVU).
