Good article on Ga Tech getting invited, and who might be next...

Research heavyweights that can make good arguments for joining the AAU include, but are hardly limited to, Boston University, Dartmouth College, Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge, North Carolina State University, the University of Cincinnati, the University of Georgia, and the University of Miami. Officials at several of those institutions acknowledge that they would like to join the club.

Great news.  I wonder if this provides the university with future streams of income from royalties for the use of our patents.

Yes it does.

It's the reason why USF us really pushing the Research Technology Park.

USF shares the patents and product revenue

Brings in A LOT of $$$ and recognition to the university.
