Really? So Nebraska is a better school than UConn? Missouri better than UGA?
I am not saying that the schools are better than one another.
I am saying that its a club. And in the club, members get certain privileges.
And the privileges are federal research dollars.
Having friends in the SEC in the AAU can help LSU get more research money. Dont think that the LSU administration wont be pushing Mizzou over Virginia Tech for membership, when their TV markets are a wash, if LSU wants into AAU. Florida, Vandy, and UGA would push for them as well. Arkansas for geographic reasons.

Yeah, but who are you going to send to the east if TAMU and Mizzou join the SEC? Can't very well break up the Alabama boys.

Being a member of the AAU is definitely an advantage, and all schools that are members are pretty good schools. My post was in response to nola, who said that not being a member of the AAU means "exactly" that a school is not a good school.
