AND huge TV $$$

Wait until cold fusion technology invented at the U kicks in

Alabama only has $95 mil in academic research. They should probably shut down

cougarfann888

1/23/23 2:04pm

But all of their research is in athletic performance. So...

Eddie

1/23/23 2:12pm

And those things had exactly ZERO to do with why athletics conferences were made

Agreed - but it does matter to University Presidents who make decisions

krindorr

1/23/23 2:15pm

Because the Uni Presidents are nerds who have no clue how to run a real business

Turnpike Lane

1/23/23 2:19pm

No argument from me there - not saying it's the right choice to weigh academics, just saying it's reality that they do

krindorr

1/23/23 2:39pm

And it is why the SEC has left the P12 in the dust. Demos are why the B10 has.

Turnpike Lane

1/23/23 2:42pm

No it doesn’t, alumni dollars do. This old tired PAC line did they developed

It only matters to inflate their egos. Nothing more.

Who cares anymore? We'll just kick their trash and fling a $5 bill at them and

Badge of honor. Freaking nerds.

Seems they need to kick Oregon out. Or do their standards only extend so far?

Does anyone know what the ivy league would look like stacked up here?

ryebrye

1/23/23 2:08pm

Easily the best, top to bottom. The bottom ivies would be beaten out by only a few of these P5 schools.

Virginia Ute

1/23/23 2:12pm

You think someone on Twitter priding themselves on "research" would know that

ryebrye

1/23/23 2:16pm

Not sure what it has do with the ivy league schools but ok.

Virginia Ute

1/23/23 2:19pm

The ivy league is a conference... Their graphic ranks the top conferences

ryebrye

The graphic highlights P5 conferences.

Baylor, BYU, and TCU are religious teaching schools. Different mission than

After thinking about it, that could also be a shot at Arizona wanting to go to

PAC 12 sucks at accounting, apparently, based on recent news.

mobomanjoe

And integrity

thewaterboy

1/23/23 2:16pm

They ought to use this as leverage in their tv package. Maybe get it streaming on LexisNexis

TEXAS

Honestly what did an AAU membership do for Nebraska

DJROSS

1/23/23 2:26pm

Got them into the B1G, which gives them an extra $50M a year....

krindorr

1/23/23 2:40pm

and they promptly lost their AAU membership

ManicBlue

1/23/23 3:02pm

Because fellow B1G members voted them out! 🤣

Ski-U-Mah

1/23/23 3:36pm

Yup, but it did the job.

krindorr

1/23/23 3:52pm

Great they got the extra money but has it been good for their program overall? First 2 yrs in the B1G, they

ManicBlue

1/23/23 4:17pm

Was it bad for BYU, moving from the WAC to the MWC?

krindorr

1/23/23 4:31pm

I would love to have the AAU break down each school and how the research money is actually used to see the bloat

DJROSS

1/23/23 4:39pm

Nebraska and Colorado both suffer from not having Texas schools on their schedule.

Research smack is my favorite smack.

IceCreamButt

1/23/23 2:27pm

More than school endowment smack?

Ski-U-Mah

1/23/23 3:37pm

Wonder how that's going to look when they lose the AZ schools and add Boise St and SDSU? Maybe they should consider

ManicBlue

1/23/23 2:29pm

The graphic heading says PAC 10?...

Goliath

1/23/23 2:34pm

So much for their academic superiority

LeGrandBleu

1/23/23 3:04pm

Well they do only show the 10 schools remaining after USC and UCLA leave which are found under the SEC.

ManicBlue

1/23/23 3:06pm

SEC?

Goliath

1/23/23 4:41pm

Who won the last Research National Championship? Oh, there isn't one? Nuff

Research is dead

Heath Squashwell

I must be missing the point: was there a science challenge during the NC halftime?

B12 should take Oregon and ASU off their hands, both conferences avg goes up!

Rize Alloyal

Hilariously tone deaf.

shoganai

Well, when that is all you have left...

LeGrandBleu

1/23/23 2:59pm

Funny they should list that as a qualification for B12 membership since Cal and Oregon St wouldn't qualify.

ManicBlue

1/23/23 3:16pm

lol, the Amazon arrow under the PAC icon.

panacablue

1/23/23 3:18pm

9/12 from new big 12 have enough to be in the pac12...

here's to hoping

1/23/23 3:30pm

BYU SPENDS $38 million on research?? Is this per year??

ACrop

1/23/23 3:55pm

"...literally..." Haha.

No touching

1/23/23 4:46pm

That's why Stanford,Cal >> Utah, because research is what's important for sports

akbarishiwatsu

Poor Alabama. Bottom of the SEC…

BYUHgrad

1/23/23 5:27pm

Let’s see this same chart for athletic revenue $$

Ducougar

That. Is. Hilarious. You know things are tough in your conference when you have

BlooCoog

This comes to mind. Research?!?!?!

MajorZeus

I read a lot of government-funded research reports and from what I can gather, this is a badge of honor.
