Reading comprehension? I wrote that all 4 schools are AAU member schools. This is a Fact. I did not write that the four schools have equivalent academic standing.
Perhaps you graduated from a non-AAU member school which is why you are having difficulty with your reading.
Correct, all 4 schools are AAU members. UO joined in 1969. They had a medical school when they were invited, but they do not any more.
The information provided in the list of AAU institutions contains columns that indicate if the Institution has a Medical School, Engineering Program, Land Grant Institution.
UO and Brandeis University are the only 2 Institutions with none of these.
In addition, there is a column that shows the Federally Funded R & D expenditures. UO is next to last, Brandeis University ( a much smaller private university) has the lowest amount.
For comparison The R & D $ for USC, UCLA and UW are 6 -10 times greater than UO.
Of course, if academics were the driving force Harvard and Yale along with Cal, Stanford, and UCLA would be on top of the CFB world and the SEC trophy rooms would be chaste.
The reason why UO's R&D funding is low is precisely because they don't have a medical school or an engineering school. Those two schools are where a big chunk of R&D funding goes.
Orange, I think all that Jon did was note that all schools are AAU members. A fact that Oregon fans probably had little, or nothing, to do with. I get that you're pissed. But don't throw the anger in the wrong direction.
Then as a duck fan, why brag about it? Esp when UO should have that designation removed if you look at the R & D numbers over the last 30 years. OSU is the flagship university of this state, and everybody knows it.
I did not brag about it, Sir. I simply pointed it out as fact and, one that took all four schools over the B1G's AAU membership requirement. 18 members schools, 17 AAU members, and Nebraska. An AAU member when invited to join and not an AAU member now. If Nebraska had not been an AAU member, it would not have received the invite.
My point that I believe most readers understood is that having cleared the AAU hurdle it was up to the media partners more than it was to the B1G universities.
If USC, especially the way recruiting is going, would have been able to blackball Oregon it likely would have done so.
Duck fans have been living in the shadow of USC for decades. Following USC to the Big10 just the latest example. Something Phil Knight can't buy: football tradition, Heisman's, HOF players and national championships. He's 86, time to step on it. Once he's gone, the balloon pops.
With all 4 newbies being AAU members, the decision was up to Fox, CBS, and NBC.
Grouping Oregon's academics with the academics of USC, UCLA and UW is a big reach. Only a duck fan would do it, and of course, you did.

Thank you. Not the least bit surprising.

My friend, get help.
