That's exactly why. BC views it as a game where they have nothing to gain by winning but a lot to lose if they get beat. They see themselves as the big dog in New England and won't jeopardize that perception. However, if somehow UCONN ever gets an invite to the B1G, I'm sure the game will happen, and wouldn't be surprised if it were BC that initiated the discussions.

Between 1893 and 2009, Tulane played LSU 98 times, the rivalry stopped (just like why BC won't play UConn) because LSU had nothing to gain + would rather schedule some bum to get their own gate rather than help Tulane by playing in the Dome. It's messed up but personally TU really has to look at ourselves (partially) for sucking so bad.

I'm glad that rivalry is dead. Tulane needed to move on.

Also, keep in mind that Tulane also would not take measures to help keep the rivalry alive as well. The BR crowd claims that Tulane were apparently being stingy during negotiations and wouldn't cave on anything.

I'd rather play them but not if we are getting blown out every year.
