research spending isn't probably even a little bit of a factor

Where do the new additions fit into our Big Ten Helmetiness rankings? 

Where do Texas and Oklahoma fit into the SEC's Helmitiness rankings?

That doesn't contradict my post. 

You can still use it as a metric by which to rank teams within a conference, which we've done numerous times over the years.

My own Helmet rating doesn't change much due to recent results:

Texas OU Bama - Blue Bloods of the sport, still

UGA Florida LSU Auburn Tennessee - Barons or whatever is in the second tier

Of course, Vandy has a winning record vs Texas so there is that.

I was a bit surprised when the new AAU members were named last week, and FSU was not part of it. It was equally surprising that USF is in.

Any idea on this @OrangeAfroMan @Honestbuckeye @Mdot21 @WhiskeyM

Iowa State ends membership with prestigious Association of American Universities | The Gazette

Kinda weird. 
Yet, perfectly understandable. The AAU did not align with the ISU's mission. 

AAU also does not count research dollars in Agriculture.

From what I can gather- FSU is working hard towards an invite to AAU. It is a bit of a process- most of the schools have some affiliation with a teaching hospital and can attract research dollars.
They have allocated a lot of resources to go in that direction.  

Totally unscientific- many of their alumni would prefer the BIG over SEC.

But if you're in the AAU, what is the benefit of then leaving?  Were they just anticipating a finality of it?

Is there some downside to membership?

I suspect tradition etc. aside, everyone would prefer the B1G to the SEC.  $$$$$$$$$$$
