Message: [QUOTE="hank970, post: 5021589, member: 6349"] I don't understand how you can make that assertion. Though its research activity is about the same as UConn's, its USN&WR ranking is about 100 points lower. It's clearly an outlier among the AAU schools, with only a marginally better Missouri in about the same leaky boat. Note that Iowa State, though recently defrocked (probably because it doesn't have a med school), still has better AAU metrics than Kansas -- at least according to this chart. It [I]would[/I] be interesting to know what other metrics AAU considers. Undergrad education at recently added Notre Dame, for example, has an enviable reputation, but it has a puny research portfolio. Kansas is often mentioned as a possible candidate for a B1G invitation, but I can't imagine that the B1G would opt for another school with questionable academics and relatively low research activity from a sparsely populated prairie state.
