Is it fair? Maybe, maybe not. but 3-4 winning seasons does not an invite guarantee.

We dont need to be in a better conference to be the clear cut number 2 program in the state. We just need to keep winning and win out bowl games. Period, we are expanding, Tulane is downsizing, LTURd is spinning it's wheels and ULM has a $11 million budget. We are doing what we need to do.

CUSA is not our desired goal, the AAC is. Will Tulane allow us in? Probably not but it would be dumb for them not to. It would give y'all an easy sold out stadium every other year and an easy trip on opposite years.

The only thing Tulane is downsizing is stadium capacity. Otherwise we have been and will keep investing $125 million + over the next 2 years. And I wouldn't call 3 successful years a clear cut 2nd place program in the state.

Tulane will never let ULL in sorry. :\

Tulane nor Louisiana Tech can block UL from any conference, they are only one vote. No 3 or 4 winning years does not get you invite, but 125 mil in athletic facility projects, a commitment to higher budgets, continued growth of RCAF and winning will get you more looks or possible opportunities.

$125 Mil commitment includes your new 30,000 seat stadium? I hardly call that a commitment to major college football. No, I wouldn't call 3 successful years a clear cut 2nd place program in the the state either, nor would I call anything Tulane did in the SEC in the past relevant today as well.

You want to be selective? Ok...please pull up the Brian Mitchell era(1986-89 ) and the Jake Delhomme era (1993-96) you were great back in the day prior to 1950 and you have had a few quality teams since.....live in the past if you wish...we are moving forward.

Zeebart21, In the entire time that I've been a Tech fan, I have always known that Tech and ULL are pretty equal in most areas. It was only when Tech moved to the WAC, and you guys started the non-stop bashing of Tech about our travel costs, no regional rivalries, etc., that I began to grow a dislike for ULL. In the end, it was the exposure we received from that very membership in the WAC that got us into CUSA. We knew we had to overcome being in a small market, so we did what we had to do to overcome it. ULL misjudged where conference realignment was headed and did nothing. Because of that, ULL was not included in the early rounds of realignment.

I don't believe it is a 30,000 seat stadium, more like 28,000. And this is AAC football? Tulane's admittance to the Big East was the last straw that broke up the conference. Tulane is a joke athletically. Check out pictures of their games. Maybe 5,000 in actual attendance. Oh how the high and mighty have fallen. What team plans for the future by downsizing its stadium to FCS level?

You really do not understand what is presently going on at this University and the surrounding area.....No one that I know believes that UL will jump from the SBC to the Big XII....it is obviously a long term goal...and why not? As to your statement about Tech joining the WAC and UL remaining Indy...you are 100% accurate as I had the former President of UL tell me directly that Tech could not afford the travel costs and neither could UL. Knowing that statement was bull cookies I ended my support for my own University until President Savoie took over 4 years ago
