But this release from Nebraska right before they left the AAU shows that Cincinnati was actually ahead of 13 current AAU members, and was 5th among non-AAU FBS schools using their own criteria: http://newsroom.unl.edu/releases/downloa...UNLAAU.pdf

Cincinnati is an excellent research university with a lot of money. Anyone who denies this is a blatant liar.

MLB, I know cinci is an excellent research university. I shouldn't have included them in my list. Sorry. However, you do realize colorado st, New Mexico and USF have also had several years where they too were (and are) ahead of several current AAU members. As confident as you are that Cinci will get into the AAU, the AAU moves at a snails pace at admitting new members. Iowa will never get kicked out that's certain. It's uncertain if Cincinnati will ever get in. (Politics is a factor, I agree) my guess is that Colorado st will be the next the invite to AAU. My guess it will be 10 to 20 years from now. New Mexico or UCONN would be the next 2 in line in my opinion. I won't argue with you anymore. I'm just an army grunt with a BA from ECU but my great uncle who's a PHD at UNC and his son a PHD at Ohio st explained to me how these things work and those conversations and my observations while living in Iowa city (for my sisters terminal condition) is what I'm going on....your quote "you have zero knowledge of what your talking about. Zero."--little harsh after what I told you about my sister don't you think? you probably study the internet data on this subject, and I respect your knowledge and your school. Beautiful campus and Nippert is one of my fav stadiums!
