I looked at this the other day and was not convinced it was close to AAU metrics at all. I compared Cincy to some of the schools currently in the AAU -- not UConn. And the internal AAU documents I've seen are night and day different than this study.

I can't tell you why there's such a discrepancy, but even in UConn's case, the $86m research budget is really small compared to the actual numbers. But it's not just research dollars. The lack of faculty in the national academies at Cincy plus the low SAT averages of the students (Cincy is ranked 362, UConn 34) makes this a mixed bag.

No one has said Cincy or USF or UAB for that matter dont spend a lot of money on research. They do. We're discussing though the actual stats that the AAU values.

Personally I think Cincy is up there as an AAU candidate, but when you look at these studies, it is well above current AAU members, and that right there is a red flag not to take the studies that seriously. Internally to the AAU, Cincy isn't up to par with CURRENT members.
