Nebraska is doing quite well after being outed from the AAU, but certain CyClowns seem to think it was the end of the world for Nebraska, far from it. Had Nebraska's Medical Center been in Lincoln, more than likely they would have retained AAU status. Seems the AAU had a distaste for Ag research as well, or more specific, Nebraska's Ag research.
Since getting the boot from the club, enrollment has grown, Nebraska has become more attractive to non-resident and international students, research trajectory has continued to exceed the pace of most AAU institutions, competed for and won designation as a (University Affiliated Research Center), one of only 14 in the country, has tripled national academy memberships, and rankings, for what they are worth, in U.S. News and World Report have steadily improved, now being at the highest in the history of the university.
