Besides being a bad FB and MBB league. I can see being more interested in midweek baseball games than conference games. And pre-conference games. Sad situation we’re heading for. We were a flea at an elephant dance. Now we're a flea at a wooly mammoth dance--and there are a lot of new fleas joining...

if the big12 gets the two 'zona schools, Utah and Colorado from the pac, they may not abosrb any more schools...or, if they only get two from that group, they will select USF and either Memphis or SMU with an invite....now if WVA goes to the ACC, which has been rumored, and the big 12 gets the prev...

They won't end up in the same position as Tulane. They have built their brands up and they will get payouts much larger than Tulane's. They won't be stuck playing UNT, UTSA, Rice, FAU and mighty Charlotte. They'll still have good crowds at their games and be on network TV. But how will their brands...

Big12/PAC12 merger or alliance talks collapse. They called each other’s bluff. One was holding a 2,4,5,7 and 9, and the other was holding a 3,5,6,8 and 9. Back to solitaire.

Bi, who's holding the gun to your head?

Oops, I see HoustonWave was grousing about Tulane leaving the SEC in another thread. It's hard to keep up. Houston, if you really tried, you could probably knock out the rest of those squares in a single sentence: Ever since we left the SuperDome and built that cheap, high-school stadium with the p...

Gov. Gavin Newsom threatens action against UCLA due to Big Ten move. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/gavin-newsom-threatens-action-ucla-big-ten.amp From what I'm reading, if UCLA doesn't move to the Big10, their athletic program goes bankrupt. Of course, Money-Tree Newsome can just cut them a check ...

show ya how smart the Admin's at Tulane really are.....for a school that touts IQ scores, they are really fukin stupid Exactly!! A litany of stupidity from the top. It's literally hard to make as many bad decisions as Tulane has over the last 70+ years--you have to really work at being that incompe...

You do know what is behind this consolidation and if you think that having a Saturday off in Piscataway will keep Rutgers in the "big ten" you are sadly mistaken. You're sadly mistaken if you think the networks are going to pay those megabucks to the 2 super conferences to have to show Oh...

He needs to focus on making Tulane Athletics better or go away permanently. Only at Tulane do we have a consistent pattern of worthless ADs. I think AWOL has been trying to go away--permanently. It's just that nobody from sea-to-shining-sea wants him. He's another Fitts Failure--and each year we ke...

Sh*tbird teams will be purged at the highest level. You don't have to look too far & wide to schedule a Tulane. Once the super conferences are formed they will be playing at least 10 conference games. May end up only playing conference games. So no the lesser teams in those conferences won't be...

Fitts and Dannen have done less to make Tulane attractive than the previous regime. Cow/Dick blew the opportunity to leverage the success of 1998 into a P6 invite, starting with not hiring RR and then Cowen being a buffoon and trying to take on the Power Football Programs. But as bad as they were, ...

ESPN+ annual subscription fee is increasing by 43%. But the increase won’t impact the Disney bundle cost if you're willing to include Disney+ and Hulu—whether you want those or not. Looks like ESPN is gearing up to write bigger checks to the super conferences—and Tulane fans will be contributing whi...

Call it P1 P2 G5 then. But it now means we have fallen down another level in competition. It’s going to end up being separate Tiers. The B1G and SEC Tier 1, ACC, Big12 and PAC 12 or combo Tier 2 and the rest Tier 3. The best we can hope for is getting in the Tier 2 group. It’s easy to see our irrev...

Rain Man and AWOL have never painted any vision for Tulane's athletics. Given everything that is going on with realignment, and the uncertainty for the PAC12, Big12 and ACC, this is the perfect time for our Dynamic Duo to approach any and all of these three conferences and negotiate what terms would...

I googled Tulane to the Big 12 and multiple articles came up from 2016. What has happened to us in the last 6 years that we’re no longer mentioned? One other thing I discovered is that Tulane’s Mike Fitts is the Chairman of the Board of Directors for the AAC “I would like to thank UCF President Ale...

Still no mention of Tulane in any of those links posted by golfnut. Obviously we are going to be left behind in the mega-conference alignments. This is so depressing for me.
