Technically, Nebraska is no longer an AAU school.
Much of it has to do with research, so schools like Notre Dame, who are very student-focused, are not AAU schools even though they are very prestigious.

I understand there is a research aspect to it but what other factors are considered. The University of Alabama's medical school (UAB), for example, draws research dollars on a level that dwarfs many current AAU member institution's overall research totals yet I doubt the AAU would bother giving them the time of day. The criteria for membership just seems arbitrary and discriminatory especially against public institutions in the Deep South.
