This should surprise no one.

Tulane grads salaries...from payscale Janurary 2023..... ROI ranking is terrible... Please research other schools, I used my two free searches Tulane https://www.payscale.com/research/US/School=Tulane_University/Salary Texas Tech https://www.payscale.com/research/US/School=Texas_Tech_University/Sal...

BYU is likely a more valuable football program to media than any other non-UT/OU Big 12 football program. Let’s not pretend that there is a scenario where the Big 12 expanded where it couldn’t pull from other P5s and BYU was not going to be there.

UNC is probably the most desirable full member program in the ACC to either the SEC or B1G - so much so that it would be shocking if the ACC lost full members and UNC was not one of them. UNC combines top tier FBS academics, a 2nd tier recruiting state (tier after Texas, Florida, California, and Ge...

Zombie, I may be wrong, but I think UVa and UNC are both committed to the ACC for the long haul. If some combination of Louisville, Clemson, FSU and Miami left, and ND joined for football, it would be a very prestigious academic conference with damned good sports. At that point, they'd be looking t...

I agree with the premise of the Article in that Warren wanted the B1G to add Washington, Oregon, Cal and Stanford, and his moving on likely ends that conversation. Subsequently, I told Baylor fans in Texas that that was a worst case scenario as leaving those teams behind made the PAC12 stable so tha...

Have you seen the non-UT/OU Big 12 recruiting classes? There aren’t many blue chip recruits around.

I’m frustrated because I believe Fritz’s win over Kansas State will extend his tenure when he should have been fired during last season.

That seems like a virtual certainty.

How do we keep ending up ranked in the 40s with a sub 9% acceptance rate, growing endowment, happy students, etc? Steamin' Eamon got us in the 30s during the 1990s, Poor blowhard Cowen wasted away in the 50s and now Fitts can't get back in the 30s where we rightfully belong. I realize most of the r...

After Katrina, many thought Tulane would either no longer exist or move out of New Orleans due to the damage it suffered, so let’s not pretend like Tulane was in a position to acquire a lot of properties at that time.

Other than money, what is causing this consolidation? Why has the SEC championship become the game that determines the national champions? How has the "big ten" become part of the P2? Beginning with the 2006 champion and concluding with the most recent national championship, only 4 times ...

They aren't going anywhere. The elite programs need them to pad the win column. Otherwise they are going 8-4, 7-5 and sometimes having losing seasons and their fans won't stand for that. This. They were at the right place, at the right time. Tulane could become a world beater overnight, and that su...

It’s paying off. ACC, PAC-12 and Big 12 very interested. All in talks with the Mustangs now. https://247sports.com/Article/Conference-realignment-SMU-has-had-conversations-with-Big-12-ACC-and-Pac-12-per-report-189929376/ If tulane was located in the Dallas TV market, they would be talking with td a...

The most valuable programs have essentially moved on - SMU is neat, but it’s value is capped by TCU; UAB has some value, but the ceiling there is relatively low due to all of the competition for recruits; SDSU has value, but only if the PAC12 wants it; and Memphis is similar to UAB.

Can’t see that Zombie. The PAC12 problems are long lasting if they don’t get presence in the CT zone. All of the new Big 12 teams are stronger programs than most of the PAC12 programs, and, except for national- brand BYU, are located in heavy football populations. I suspect the new Big 12 TV deal w...

Why would Houston take less money, to travel further, and reduce their presence in Texas? Not a chance Houston would go PAC12 now that they are where they always wanted to be—the Big 12. And if that isn’t enough, Houston’s profile and academics wouldn’t get an invite from the PAC12. As far as the r...

Definitely many scenarios. From those conference payouts, it's pretty clear that the PAC12 is going to have to come up with a new strategy, or keep falling further behind the other P5's. It will be interesting to see if the PAC12 bites the bullet and tries to get established in the Central Time Zon...

It will be interesting to see what the Big 12 payout will be once OU and UT are gone. the next big12 expansion, will be interesting... two or 4 teams do you give BYU a geographic playmate with Colorado State and Memphis State a playmate for Cincy n West Va, or USF for UCF, and capture two big flori...

As touched on in prior discussions, the Texas schools predominately recruit Texas students who (generally) plan to stay in Texas after graduation due to all of the job opportunities in Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Fort Worth, El Paso, and surrounding areas.(the smallest city, and only city,...

Does anyone care about the accusations by dozens of women about Watson or are Saints fans just praying they land the uber-talented QB? I'm a Saints fan but from afar and am definitely not in tune with what the locals thinnk about the Saints interest. I can tell you I would be shocked to hear even a...

Remember this is not counting our 4 Star Transfers. This is our opportunity with the new staff. LSU has over half 3 star recruits that will not win at the SEC level, new coach or not. Our few transfers are rated higher than theirs. They took a big hit in the coaching change. If we can have a big ye...

What is Houston doing that makes them competitive in the major sports that we are not? That's a complex question. The answer is a series of factors, and they include: 1. Billionaire alumnus willing to pay whatever it takes for Houston to be a winner and 2. The University of Houston being a large en...

I blame the Board for bringing in another pseudo-academic nerd like Fitts as our president. He’s a do-nothing and a coward —not wanting to soil his hands on messy Admissions vs Athletics issues. He’s been a disaster. Med School still unranked; Law School from #50 to #60; Business School from #62 to...

I feel like our own fanbase doesn't get hot enough considering how much the schools spends on these coaches. There should be tremendous heat on the entire AD to the point where it is suffocating. It's actually embarrassing to wear Tulane attire in public. They don't get hot enough because they didn...
