AAU is basically a cartel that leverages extracting the most money they can
From the government (through grants etc.) The rest is just details.
BYU (fortunately or unfortunately depending on who you talk to) likely doesn't have the priorities to get in.

Anyone know why BYU is not a member of the AAU? Not qualified? Never applied??

Not enough research. No medical school. Academic freedom. Undergrad focus.

Medical School is required. Iowa State is getting kicked out of the AAU after being a member for more than 60 years.

Looks like the AAU is an elitist group of selective Fed money suckers. Got it.
