[QUOTE="TCUdirtbag, post: 3262575, member: 61297"] Many people incorrectly think that opening a medical school means we are on a one-way bullet train to R1 or even AAU status. That thinking very much underestimates (1) how far away we are in total research spending and (2) the many requirements beyond total spending. I’m just pointing out that you’re not just kinda wrong but like many grossly underestimating what it takes to achieve those sorts of research classifications. We aren’t R1 or AAU’ing our way into an elite league. We’re going to have to earn it on the field and some of the B1G’s requirements would have to change. As much conversation as there is on this board about realignment, it’s helpful to be realistic. [/QUOTE]
