The Bisonator a clairvoyant?
Aau = fbs!! Hell yeah!!!!!!!!
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
Don't matter. FIVE-PEAT!
Totally insane goal, but what the hell.
Many thousands are in want of common necessaries; hundreds of thousands are in want of common comforts, sir."
Scrooge-"Are there no prisons?". "Plenty of prisons..."
Scrooge-"And the Union workhouses." . "Are they still in operation?". "Both very busy, sir..."
"Those who are badly off must go there."
"Many can't go there; and many would rather die."
Scrooge- "If they would rather die," "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."
This is sort of correct. They basically got kicked out because their research dollars awarded to their medical school were counted separately from the research dollars awarded to the University of Nebraska. Apparently the state of Nebraska uncoupled the two. Generally, the AAU doesn't count research grants that they consider non-competitive. USDA research grants often fall under this category. Basically, your goal should be to get a lot of money from the NIH, NSF, DoD, and DoE, among others.
Was thinking that a new major fundraising drive was overdue. It's been a long time since the end of Momentum. Pres B's SotU pretty much confirms it. Anyone know and willing to share if the quiet phase of a major campaign is already underway?
And even if AAU acceptance is unlikely, this is practically a no-lose situation. If we add more endowed faculty, grow the student endowment, and grow the university(especially full-time, degree-seeking grad students) and we don't get accepted into the AAU, we're still much better off for the effort.

Perhaps said funding drive will include 15 million for state of the art IPF with connecting coaches offices and football specific weight room.
