[Date] 5 weeks 4 days ago [Body] "What does academic prestige do for an academic institution?" No, that's not my question. I worded it very poorly. What I should have said is how does being in the AAU raise their prestige? Does it actually make them a better university or have better professors? It seems a school joining the AAU just gets to now say it's an AAU member because you fit some criteria. Anyway, Nebraska isn't in the AAU. They were kicked out in 2011. So I guess the B1G doesn't actually have those standards anymore. Is Michigan really worse off because of that? http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/26078/nebraska-loses-aau-status Wikipedia's AAU page also lists them as former members so I guess nothing has changed. It seems Stanford and Cal do fine with their academic reputations without worrying about their football teams playing other football teams who attend schools that aren't as prestigious. [Title]
