Comparables to UConn: Iowa State 74, Kansas 77, Nebraska 80, Oklahoma 83, Florida State 84, Missouri 88. Iowa State, Kansas, and Missouri are legacy AAU; Nebraska ex-AAU.

It's hard for me to see AAU status or any research metric separating these universities in the Big Ten's eyes. I think admission will be on athletic and financial grounds.

Overall dollars at the mid-tier universities are largely driven by the size of their associated medical centers. The AAU has quality metrics to adjust for this. USF isn't getting AAU status based on having the dominant medical center in a large metro area of sick elderly who consume a lot of health services.

Likewise Carnegie Mellon, Brandeis, Rice, Tulane benefit from high quality even if they are smaller in size.
