Our research clout has been a big distinguishing factor for USF. Keep up the great work.

Interesting question - why is Stony Brook in the AAU and we are not? This is probably our best model - whatever they did, we should do. Also, before we get in the AAU, we probably need to become a member of the URA

If only these rankings were more like real life where everything is based on merit.
