In academia, Tulane is highly regarded. That's the main reason you are still alive in the Big 12 audition process. Tulane would be an academically prestigious addition to any P5 conference, especially for a conference like the Big 12 which is towards the lower end of the P5 academic totem pole.
Anyone who thinks academics is irrelevant to P5 expansion is fooling themselves.
It's pretty hard to move up once you're in the top 50, kudos

Temple comes in at #118.
No idea in what world Temple moves down.
TU at #86, not sure what they were last year.
Cincy is now the same as LSU.
I know this for... reasons.

Yeah we are 49 spots from #220. We are improving
UC moved up to 135
tied with Kstate and Arkansas
we would be ties or in front of half of the current B12
Even though I know that Tulane is a great institution, I think us news rankings at massively faulty and total crap.
When USF is ranked alongside schools that do 1/3rd the research, no where near the patents, have a fourth of our endowment and their entrance scores are all lower (like gmat, gre, mcat) and yet they rank us with them.... It shows a serious flaw in methodology.

They don't factor in anything that you just highlighted. It is based on Graduation/Retention rates, Undergrad academic reputation based on a peer assessment survey, faculty resources, student selectivity (focusing on SAT/ACT scores), financial resources, graduation rate preformation, and alumni giving rate.

He's referring to Tulsa, not Temple. Temple is not #86.
To be fair, Tulane was 41st, but now is in a five way tie for 39th.
We are talking small (very, very small) marginal movements here. We could have just as easily fallen to 45 and some people would be in melt down mode. At a certain point, the rankings lose their precision.
