Looking at the MWC the last few seasons, Air Force has been one of the most consistent team in football. Plus, it's only an hour from Denver as well. They should get consideration tool. Add them with Tulane to add on to SDSU and SMU to get to 14. If they want to get to 16, add Memphis and another t...

The Cotton Bowl win checks a huge box: can you win on the big stage. Most teams never get a chance to even get there. Tulane got there AND won. Great point. That, and the improved viewership rankings, and the academic status, and the recruiting turf we can bring, and N.O. as a city that people love...

What's already stopping some of the PAC-12 schools from reaching out to the Big-12? They’ve probably been waiting for, either (1) a Big 10 offer (in the case of Wash, Oregon, Stanford and Cal); or (2) they were hoping that Kliavkoff could pull a big money rabbit out of the media hat—but he can’t. S...

I agree that the PAC has very few good alternatives and no one in their right mind would leave the Big 12 for the PAC. While I would rather have PAC money than what we have now, I sure hope we would have a better option. Big 12 and ACC are both better than what the PAC will become. No doubt those t...

The fans need to put pressure on Dannen and Fitts to get some activity going. Otherwise who knows what's going on behind the scenes. It would behoove Dannen to be aggressive because it will make his job easier in the long run. But this is best chance we've had since '98 to build on this program. Ar...

I am just wishful thinking because it does not make sense that we do not advertise we are for sale to a new conference. Outside of the few suggestions listed here which are people not doing their jobs, I would think that the Board of Trustees will not allow us to do any public bidding or we are in ...

Honest question here because I do not remember knowing. When we announced our move to the Big East, how much of a secret was that to this group? From my vague memory, it was not well known. Granted, I do not blame the main powers because that was a gift to us. Everyone laughed at the Big East that ...

I heard that Troy Dannen interview from last Spring (I believe) that winwave referred to in another post (possibly another thread). In the interview Dannen made it clear that we were NOT lobbying for a "Pee" invite because he felt that we wouldn't get a full share of the money for such a ...

Another arrow in our quiver. Pleeeaase Fitts and Dannen, use it while we have it.

The schedule didn't hurt us as much as losing games to teams we have no business losing to. C'mon man, some of those losses early were absolutely brutal. Tulsa I can understand, that's a conference game against a team that had been getting closer and closer to their first win. But Nevada, Western K...

And remember H-Wave none other than the man himself, Rick “Tricky Dick” Dickson once said, “Tulane & SMU are tied at the hip!” :D 😂😂 It looks like we’re about to have a hip replacement. Hopefully that replaced hip will not say Slippery Rock or Mount Union? :lol: It will be if Fitts and Dannen d...

Excellent read here on the PAC 12 and the Big 12 expansions and TV contracts. The PAC 12 is now desperate. Apparently ESPN and them are $100’s of millions off in negotiations since losing USC & UCLA. Looks like they may end up with a streaming only deal on Amazon or ESPN+ at this point. The Big...

Big 12 Yormark acknowledges that unloading OU and UT early opens up the possibility for Big 12 expansion—but he’s looking west, not east. Yormark must think he can hijack a few PAC schools before PAC tortoise Commish Klivakoff can put together a survival strategy. Klivakoff must be another 20%.

Big 12 announces that they have arrived at an agreement with UT and OU for their earlier departure--after the 2023 season. Maybe the PAC activity is motivating the Big 12 to move on for future expansion purposes--we can only hope. And remember H-Wave none other than the man himself, Rick “Tricky Di...

I would love to see JMU in our conference. They're pretty happy in the Belt, and I think there's a little bitterness toward Aresco in Harrisonburg, VA, but it would be a big move for them two years into FBS football. They have solid athletics having been to the Softball World Series and won champio...

Talk about a big hit for the poor PAC! Yes, it hurts AAC too, but only incrementally Absolutely. If the PAC sticks just with SDSU and SMU, they are running up the white flag. Both schools rank well below Tulane, CSU and several other G5's in the Zach Miller TV rankings. Clearly a PAC desperation Ha...

SMU and and San Diego State will likely replace UCLA and USC according to news sources. I wonder who our conference will want in to replace SMU? I do no think there is another school in the DFW media market that makes sense.....UNT is served by that market as well ...... might have to look outside ...

Multiple times over. They have so much money they are trying to figure out how to spend it. They really don’t need anything facility wise. Must be nice.

$500K might get us the IPF--if we can get Biden to contribute a big chunk of that Chinese balloon. It would be a masterful example of Tulane "doing it on the cheap".

One other possibility is that the Big 12 might consider SMU to the PAC as a beachhead into Big 12 territory (which hopefully it is)--that just might get the Big 12 off the dime on its own expansion, that Yormark keeps jawboning about.
