Sometimes we forget the Academy of Art is here to produce top-notch graphic designers and film artists, not just litter the streets of SF with new takes on fashion. In fact, the school even has an athletics department. Did you know this? We did not. And it seems USF smeared the Academy of Art basketball team, the Urban Knights, the other day. But as Rick Chandler at Deadspin notes, even though "it's the largest private art school in the nation, ... its men's basketball team isn't that terrible." In between fashion design midterms and broadcast journalism classes with the governor from Silence of the Lambs, they've managed to win three games so far this season. The basketball team "was started from scratch this season so that the school could compete in NCAA Div. I." In addition to shooting hoops, AAU also offers competitive opportunities in tennis, baseball, lacrosse, golf, cross country, volleyball, and more. But, thankfully, they have no football team. (Good thinking on nixing the footballers, Elisa. Gotta get that date-rape stat down low.) Update: This sporting match game was played in November of '08. Oops.

What was the score, 500 to -12?
All that early practice didn't pay off?

I just thought it was all about the real estate.
Of course it's a real estate scam... the day Academy of Art merges with CitiApartments this city is doomed
It is? Seriously? Since when?
I go to USF. My boyfriend goes to AAU. If you've never been enrolled in AAU, kindly shut your mouth. You're making yourself look stupid.
OK, I've read the OP and this reply a dozen times, and I still don't get what you're so upset about.
The fact that people who comment on this site, whenever AAU is mentioned, get their panties in a bunch and go on about how the school is a real estate scam.
Ah. Well, good luck with telling people on the internet to keep their mouths shut. Using "kindly" was a smart move; means they'll totally listen to you.
One doesn't need to have "enrolled at AAU" to know that they are sharks when it comes to real estate acquisition and management. Ask the guys over at Lorraine Hansberry Theatre.
