Agreed. I don't think Temple gives a crap about most of the AAC football rivals. Having UConn was fun for them because they were one of the few programs shown the door of a P6 when they were kicked out of the Big East.WavyHoops wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 1:40 pm Was basically agreeing - not disputing.
Navy may be physically closer to Temple but it does not resemble a rival. Lucky for them they have the Big Five to keep the traditional baskeball fires burning, but nothing but the occasional Penn State, Pitt or Notre Dame game moves the needle for football fans in Philly.

They won 8 or more games 4 years in a row, and had quite a nice rivalry going with Syracuse and West Virginia. I cannot remember the last time Tulane won 8 games 3 years in a row? Oh, maybe because it was back during the depression. Look it up, last time was 1929-31.

OR WE CAN LOOK AT RECORDS SINCE UCONN MOVED UP TO FBS:
UConn has won 98 games since 2000.
https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/sc ... index.html
Going back to our undefeated season in 1998, (which means we have two MORE years and a 12-0 to throw into the mix for those keeping score at home ) Tulane has won 94 games.
https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/tulane/
YOU CANNOT ARGUE Tulane played tougher schedules, UConn was in a much better conference for most of these years. The Big East blew away the CUSA. Yeah, they've sucked lately but have been better than our beloved Green Wave since moving up to BCS status.

No doubt. And if we don't cover, I'd be concerned.
I'm not making any argument for the current state of the UConn football team. Or even their past history, or decision to leave the AAC. Just pointing out that, for a stretch they were damned competitive in a true P6 conference. Maybe Camelot was short lived, but it happened! And even giving the Wave two years to include the magical 1998 season, they've won more since 2000 than we have since 1998, inclusive.

President Fitts , B of A , it's put up or forever hold your peace time . Make Tulane ATHLETICS relevant and top 30 again .
I would still add Buffalo. Nice media market, student size is bigger than the average AAC school and the academics are great as the school has an AAU status. Plus it’s a competitive sports program and in the northeast market. The conference doesn’t need to travel too far west.

Cannot agree more. Yet I wonder why so many key alum/donors still think the guy walks on water? Especially in the wake of the hidden budget deficits that were uncovered during the Cowen era after we got Fitts.
But none of us want this to digress into a Cowen bashing thread. Sorry for the drift.

So...the AAC cannot hold a conference title game unless it adds a team, kicks a team out, or gets the NCAA to change the rules since a conference with less than 12 teams can only hold a title game if it plays a round robin.
This should be interesting.

The Big 12 plays a round robin, so it’s within the existing rules - 10 teams with 9 conference games.DfromCT wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 10:08 pmCan they waive that for the Big 12 but not the AAC?Aberzombie1892 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 10:05 pm So...the AAC cannot hold a conference title game unless it adds a team, kicks a team out, or gets the NCAA to change the rules since a conference with less than 12 teams can only hold a title game if it plays a round robin.

Big 12 got a waiver from the NCAA a couple of years ago. After receiving the waiver they decided not to expand. It's not within their rules, the NCAA made an exception at that time.Aberzombie1892 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 6:21 amThe Big 12 plays a round robin, so it’s within the existing rules - 10 teams with 9 conference games.DfromCT wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 10:08 pmCan they waive that for the Big 12 but not the AAC?Aberzombie1892 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 10:05 pm So...the AAC cannot hold a conference title game unless it adds a team, kicks a team out, or gets the NCAA to change the rules since a conference with less than 12 teams can only hold a title game if it plays a round robin.

It's hard not to drift, when the Tulane community still looks around and sees the rubble from his administration. Your question is a great one, and one of the true mysteries of the modern Tulane era. We can only hope that as time goes by, a more accurate assessment of the Cowen era will gradually surface.DfromCT wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 10:05 pmCannot agree more.

Great idea. Probably too good an idea--the Board still has Cowen-worshippers who don't want to know what happened to all those funds. If you know you won't like the answer, then don't ask the question.golfnut69 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 8:35 amU can start the assessment with a Forensic Accounting firm of where the Katrina Federal money as well as property insurance funds, disappeared toHoustonWave wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 8:16 amIt's hard not to drift, when the Tulane community still looks around and sees the rubble from his administration.

FWIW, Having Penn State Maryland & Rutgers in the Big 10 is a huge cultural and regional misfit. Out of all the coulda-shoulda-woulda's over the recent decades the Big East decision to deny Penn State was probably the single biggest in contributing to the current Sh*t Show.
