Calling it a dump assures me you've never been on their campus or inside their facilities. Ignorance is bliss apparently. UCF showed that they were committed to big-time athletics. Tulane has used every opportunity to show the same commitment and instead put its nose in the air and claim academic superiority or worse, made a half-assed attempt. We're doing it as you read this today. And not for nothing, UCF has a fan base that dwarfs ours. They graduate more every year than our enrollment, and the graduates stay in Florida and support their school. Their ratings and attendance got them the invite, and our ratings and attendance have been a small fraction of theirs. Prior to the second half of this season, it was rare for a whole number to be in front of the decimal for Tulane ratings. Think about that.arkhou02 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 29, 2022 12:05 am
UCF is a dump. Should have never been invited to Big 12. We have so much more to offer. And if we get P5 money, watch out. People are certainly on notice and see the potential. Quit whining about next year. We have a great coach, a great recruiting class, and depth across the board. And Tulane fans are excited. Players are excited and coming back to play for the Tulane community. This will continue because WF is in charge. Roll Wave!!!
So what do we offer the Big 12 that UCF doesn't? AAU Academics? That's close to the bottom of the list of priorities for a conference in the 21st century. The City of New Orleans? They can play here whenever they want with or without Tulane. The only thing that will get us out of the hell hole called the C-USAAC is winning regularly. Without a much bigger and better commitment from Gibson Hall, doing so is impossible.
