Today is a great day for all of us who love and support the University of Miami.

What did Notre Dame, Miami, Arizona State and USF have to say about entry into the AAU?įrom deep space to deep in the oceans, Arizona State is a university designed for discovery, interdisciplinary research and innovation. Those include: Tulane (AAC), Rice (AAC), USF (AAC) and Buffalo (MAC). It endeavors to balance these characteristics of the association with the expectation that its membership will include the leading research-intensive universities.”Ĭurrently there are only a few AAU schools at the FBS level that are not in a Power Five football conference. Per the association’s membership policy, “the association does not have a specific limit on the number of its members, it values remaining a relatively small organization whose composition enables productive meetings and collegial relationships among the member presidents and chancellors. The AAU is “an association of leading comprehensive research universities distinguished by the breadth and quality of their programs of (a) academic research and scholarship and (b) graduate education,” with membership gained upon invitation. Other notable AAU universities - when it comes to college football especially - include North Carolina (ACC), Texas (Big 12, soon to be SEC), Duke (ACC), Texas A&M (SEC), Virginia (ACC), Georgia Tech (ACC), Vanderbilt (SEC), Florida (SEC), Pittsburgh (ACC), Missouri (SEC) and Kansas (Big 12). In the Pac-12, meanwhile, Arizona, Cal, Oregon, Stanford, Utah and Washington are all members, with Arizona State now gaining entry as well. Of the now 69 AAU member schools in the United States, 13 are currently in the Big Ten - Nebraska is the only non-AAU university in the conference - with two more on the way in USC and UCLA. While AAU membership isn’t often the first thing that comes to mind in discussions surrounding conference realignment, both the Big Ten and Pac-12 have valued membership in the association in the past when adding to their respective conferences, per Sports Illustrated.
