we said we were better than most of the SEC.

Looking at the numbers from the National Science Foundation

#17 || 854 M || Texas A&M (huge school and PUF money)
#26 || 709 M || Florida (huge school in a big state)
#28 || 684 M || Vanderbilt (good considering small private)
#62 || 355 M || Georgia

If the AAU were started today, these SEC schools are probably charter members

#68 || 328 M || Kentucky (closest SEC school to Georgia)


#79 || 290 M || Louisiana State (slightly ahead of former AAU member Nebraska)


#88 || 237 M || Missouri (about where Free Shoes U ranks)


At best that puts Mizzou solidly in the middle with at least 6 other schools ahead of you and this before the new numbers that will be lower because of safe spaces and poop wall symbols. While this may mean you are still above the AL and MS schools in the SEC that is not saying much. Besides, at least the Alabama system in Birmingham comes in at #48.


If you keep saying you are better than most you are still stuck in the 1950's and 1960's when that might have been the case (however back then Georgia Tech and Tulane were both in the SEC, so maybe not). Nebraska and Syracuse thought that way until a few years ago, but then both lost their AAU membership.
