RE: iowa state leaving aau ... - Chi-TownJ UI - 4/24 12:33:43

FYI: Artsy List of AAU Members - ScottsdaleTiger MU - 4/22 09:15:48

Only one athletic conference has 100% AAU membership... - zounami MU - 4/22 09:20:10

And the SEC is right behind them with two our of fourteen - ScottsdaleTiger MU - 4/22 09:22:46

Usually people who are wrong so much don't ponder - JimD MU - 4/22 12:03:50

No big deal, wrong today, right tomorrow, - ScottsdaleTiger MU - 4/22 13:43:24

We know too. It's b/c you're jelly... - zounami MU - 4/22 18:00:57

Try again.(nm) - AllThingsKC KC - 4/22 09:42:09

Wrong... Texas, Texas A&M, Florida, Vanderbilt, Missouri... - zounami MU - 4/22 09:23:46

So four out of sixteen - big deal - nm - ScottsdaleTiger MU - 4/22 09:26:02

you might be retarded (nm) - phrejd KC - 4/22 12:14:25

It was a big deal to the SEC when they asked A&M and us to - XRob MU

Big 12 will soon have 1 out of 12. - AllThingsKC KC - 4/22 09:47:01

Try again.(nm) - AllThingsKC KC - 4/22 09:42:32

Wrong still... learn how to count. (nm) - zounami MU - 4/22 09:27:03

it's an elite group (nm) - zounami MU - 4/22 09:17:40

...and even moreso, now that Iowa State is out (nm) - zounami MU - 4/22 09:18:18

In other words, they were going to get kicked out - jlbomega MU - 4/22 08:56:17

Nebraska is the only school to ever get kicked out of the - zounami MU - 4/22 09:17:24

Explain to me what that has to do with sports at Missouri - Genco98 MU - 4/22 22:19:14

This thread is about ISU being forced out of the AAU... - zounami MU - 4/23 02:59:14

BTW, that means the Big12 will be down to one (1) AAU member - zounami MU - 4/22 00:25:41

That's because ISU had no choice. They explained that the - zounami MU - 4/21 23:49:06

I wish MU would leave the AAU - Harvest MU - 4/21 18:28:43

I don't think we should leave, however - MizzouAstro MU

- 4/22 08:49:04

It would be a huge black eye. AAU membership buoys the - XRob MU

- 4/22 10:30:18

there is no such thing as credibility for universities anymo - deputyfife MU - 4/22 12:59:20

oh c'mon, that's fiji-level hyperbole (nm) - zounami MU - 4/22 18:20:12

BTW, I don't think the AAU has any desire to kick MU out... - zounami MU - 4/22 09:08:36

How would losing our prestigious AAU status "help MU - zounami MU - 4/22 09:01:08

Harvest explained it clearly. - deputyfife MU - 4/22 13:05:34

RE: I wish MU would leave the AAU - slamduncan STL - 4/22 07:06:29

Our AAU status helps with our research funding, academic - zounami MU - 4/22 07:53:07

Ridiculous. AAU status is highly coveted in academia... - zounami MU - 4/21 23:51:28

I never have gotten that "research" is so important to - Sarazen KC - 4/21 18:46:08

"AAU universities create jobs, produce innovative technologi - Rabbit Test MU - 4/22 09:47:54

Research brings in corporate money for new buildings - MU-TULSA MU - 4/22 08:21:54

RE: It's vital to a school's academic reputation and ability to - slamduncan STL - 4/22 07:27:04

I'm talking about research in general, but AAU status - zounami MU - 4/22 07:51:48

It gave Kiesler and the curators a major woodie in the 90s - Genco98 MU - 4/21 21:09:48

You care that we care but we don't care. - ColoradoBlueTiger MU - 4/21 17:54:09

Nobody really cares about the AAU - zoomer 99 - 4/21 17:00:06

It matters when attracting good professors/researchers and - jlbomega MU - 4/22 08:57:25

Academics care, but the public doesn't - MizzouAstro MU

- 4/22 08:48:50

and that's extremely important, whether common folk - zounami MU - 4/22 08:56:08

It's a status symbol. We probably wouldn't have gotten into - zounami MU - 4/21 23:55:43

Wow. That is wrong - mutigr92 MU - 4/22 14:17:30

No, our AAU status was touted as one of the main reasons - zounami MU - 4/22 18:04:57

It is completely irrelevant - Genco98 MU - 4/21 20:22:48

there's no question it gives fans a sense of elitism ... - tmcats KSU - 4/21 17:04:40

RE: there's no question it gives fans a sense of elitism ... - slamduncan STL - 4/22 07:11:38

It absolutely helps our reputation. We would be ranked - zounami MU - 4/22 08:00:21

absolutely... and it helps attract better faculty (nm) - zounami MU - 4/21 23:56:36

I've never heard it mentioned outside of sports talk - zoomer 99 - 4/21 17:05:50

Tigerboard is the first place I heard of it. (nm) - Uncle John MU

- 4/21 18:05:45

It's often mentioned in the context of conference prestige - zounami MU - 4/22 00:15:42

National sportswriters? - Genco98 MU - 4/22 06:38:11

Jump before they were pushed - ala Syracuse - doughboy MU

yep (nm) - zounami MU - 4/21 23:57:39

RE: kU probably on it's way out as well. - slamduncan STL - 4/21 15:58:05

Yes. I don't think Mizzou is at great risk... - zounami MU - 4/22 18:14:39

everything MU does is on campus.... - SuperTone MU

- 4/21 16:10:46

Guess they realized the Big 10 will never want them.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 4/21 15:12:53

They should've already known that. The B1G is only - zounami MU - 4/22 00:10:08

Conference can get federal funding for research - AllThingsKC KC - 4/21 14:56:24

indeed, it *further* tarnishes the Big12's reputation (nm) - zounami MU - 4/21 23:58:08

tmcats will explain how this makes the b12 stronger (nm) - phrejd KC - 4/21 15:00:45

straw man much?(nm) - tmcats KSU - 4/21 15:12:04

Lie much? - Gary P. MU

- 4/21 15:21:19

i don't lie ... - tmcats KSU - 4/21 16:20:56

why tho - Yt_Haitian_Tiger MU - 4/22 01:01:42

You lie constantly. Both as a politician and on this and - TigerJackSwartz MU

- 4/21 16:48:15

i don't lie ... - tmcats KSU - 4/21 17:06:02

That’s a lie(nm) - Panthera MU - 4/21 16:30:42

you say it over and over again and sure enough ... - tmcats KSU - 4/21 16:39:24

You’re the liar here Bob(nm) - Panthera MU - 4/21 17:11:53

the big lie persists, but i resist(nm) - tmcats KSU - 4/21 18:26:44

RE: Everything seems to be changing against ag schools - slamduncan STL - 4/21 16:02:35

there's your blueprint (nm) - phrejd KC - 4/21 14:15:50

ie "we are getting kicked out so we will withdraw first" - MizzouAstro MU

- 4/21 14:08:32

Exactly. No school would voluntarily give up its AAU status - zounami MU - 4/22 00:06:50

and getting kicked out for no good reason.(nm) - SuperTone MU

- 4/21 14:16:58

Wasn't Nebraska kicked out for its medical school - AllThingsKC KC - 4/21 14:44:45

That, and U of Texas (who oversaw membership-review at the - zounami MU - 4/22 00:00:06

it was kicked out for too much ag research.... - SuperTone MU

- 4/21 16:09:08

Not too much ag research but too much earmarked research - doughboy MU

- 4/21 16:14:33

it was only too much because of the % - SuperTone MU

- 4/21 16:25:07

OTOH, I can understand the AAU expecting its members to - zounami MU - 4/22 18:31:15

That does seem like anti-ag elitist BS. (nm) - zounami MU - 4/22 18:25:37

Yeah, Nebraska's medical school is in Omaha (nm) - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 4/21 15:03:21

isn't ku's medical school in KC? (nm) - phrejd KC - 4/21 14:48:52

Yes, but I think it's somehow more connected to the - AllThingsKC KC - 4/21 14:57:13

KU Med's admin reports directly to KU Chancellor - StoneCold Tiger68 MU - 4/21 15:49:57

Yup(nm) - doughboy MU

Interesting..they get a LOT of ag research dollars - meatiger MU - 4/21 23:19:12

Here’s what I can tell you about an Iowa State university - alwaysright MU - 4/21 14:05:44

RE: Here’s what I can tell you about an Iowa State university - Chi-TownJ UI - 4/24 12:38:57

I would base nothing on that synopsis - KC rules MU - 4/21 16:21:49

There is a difference between slacking and getting poor - alwaysright MU - 4/21 21:28:38

Yeah, I've always considered ISU to be subpar academically - zounami MU - 4/22 18:27:31

College is easy if you show up (nm) - Uncle John MU

- 4/21 15:15:36

Not in every department. - alwaysright MU - 4/21 15:35:19
