You mean you don’t want to rub elbows with these guys.  How snobby of you.

It is kind of snobby ....... but, we can join both so if I HAD to rub elbows with them, I'd endure it.

It's going to be really something when we have that national TV audience for the Alabama game and we can run our AAU spot for the entire country.

Let's get Christopher Nolan to direct it.

Yes, but I hope for our sake regarding the OCS renderings he doesn't leave us hanging like his ''Inception" ending.

A couple of weeks ago, in a post regarding the OCS, I criticized the Faculty for not achieving AAU status.  After yesterday’s announcement, it’s only fair and appropriate that I commend the Faculty for this accomplishment. Congratulations to all involved! 

However, I received a reality check today on this topic. I’m enrolled in a doctoral program at another university. I asked a professor (who is also the program director) what his opinion of the AAU was, and his response was “what’s that?” Given that the guy has been a professor for 25-30 years, I was very surprised by the response.  After I explained the AAU, he mentioned the Carnegie Research ranking system. Looked it up, and USF is an R1 school. At least he didn’t say that the AAU is a basketball league - that’s a comment I’d expect from a UCF fan… 

I still think that the AAU is a big deal, but the professor’s comment tempered my enthusiasm. If it gets us in a better conference, then so much the better.

USF Athletics - time to step up and take the school to the next level!

Your professor’s lack of knowledge is disturbing.
