From 99-04

99 13-0 Final Rank 10, Bowl win over #21 BYU
00 8-5 Bowl win over Cincy
01 11-2 Bowl win over ECU (Yes the game was played)
02 11-2 Bowl win over Louisville, Final Rank 21
03 8-4 No Bowl but a win over Big XII Champions #6 K-State
04 6-6 Bowl Loss to Cincy

That would make us 57-19 duing that time.

we are doing ourselves a serious disservice if we dismiss Tulane.

I wouldn't say outstanding... they've been good in certain years, but outstanding?

2002 8 5
2000 6 5
1998 12 0
1997 7 4

4 winning years, that's not "outstanding" (at least in FB), although I'd love to see USM have a 12-0 record at any given time. Basketball, I'll give you the late 90's with no doubt, but after that? Ehhh.... That being said, the BE is just "hurt" that they're dream conference started getting whittled away around them, and now it's just come crashing down with a BOOM!, and they're trying to make any excuse they can, instead of admitting they had a shaky foundation in recent years.

You missed a crucial point. Those 4 winning seasons listed are the only winning seasons Tulane has had in the last 31 years. That is 4-27 in terms of winning seasons over the last 31 years. That Katrina really had an effect. 31 years. Wow.

After your undefeated season in 98, from 99-2004

99 3-8
00 6-5
01 3-9
02 8-5
03 5-7
04 5-6

You was 30-40 from that time. If anything Tulane was schizophrenic. Far from outstanding.

you was?

an english major.

I have friends from tulane.

I would kiss their ass long before your retarded ass.

fans like you give fans like me a bad name.

I can't believe what just happened. I just attacked a fellow southern miss fan.

I apologize to anyone that may have quoted it. I apologize to usmbacker.

this crap makes us all crazy.

I deleted the post to usmbacker

Isn't our exit fee $500,000. The idea that the nBE now needs schools that can win games and advance, not market is interesting. However, there is a real chance the nBE will have no money on hand. And we stand to lose a lot $$$ by bailing on CUSA. There is no need to jump because the big 5 still have additions to make. We are in a good place, more changes are out there.

Nothing could be further from the truth than that statement. Next year the BE still has the autobid BCS game plus all the departure fees that will be substantial even if they get negotiated down. The conference will have plenty of cash to begin with. The issue will be long term TV rights fees, but they will be better than many think even in a diminished situation.

OK, still Tulane did nothing on the field to earn their invite. The only reason you were added was because you we're in a large market and you have good academics.

...And are committed to athletics....and will benefit from the revenue generated in the Big East.

Yea I'm not sure how much revenue is going to be there if any at all, well maybe now that Boise and SDSU are headed back, that might defer some travel costs and you guys might get 67 dollars and an autographed Mike Aresco picture.

We are talking realignment. And realignment is about 2 things. 1)Market 2)Football. I don't hate Tulane. A match up in any sport that has Marshall and Tulane just doesn't get me excited. The only exciting match up would have been in 1998. That year you was 13-0. Marshall was 12-1, our only loss was to Bowling Green.

the big east has proven this to be false

If the market theory is wrong then C-USA is just as screwed since they followed it to the letter as well. If C-USA was adding the best available programs they would have added ULL, Ark State, WKU then FCS move ups and a team that doesn't even have a football program yet. So C-USA better hope that theory about markets has value.

Quote:If the market theory is wrong then C-USA is just as screwed since they followed it to the letter as well.

Uhm.. are you sure? They added growth schools w/markets AND recruiting grounds. Again, I wasn't a fan of the F_U addons, but Marshall, UAB, and USM all go after the Florida recruitment area.

UTSA = Growth School +Market
ODU = Growth school + Market (not sure on recruitment grounds)
UNT = Growth School + FL Recruitment Grounds (Market I'm not so sure of)
FAU/FIU = Recruitment Grounds + Markets
MTSU = Performance Based + TN Recruitment area
La Tech = Performance based + LA recruitment area

(not saying you're right or wrong, Bj... it just looks like you're seeing it from the myopic "markets only" stance)

we already have a contract that was based on market size theory (1.2 million/school), what is changing from defectors moving to the big east?

We were added to the league when Louisville was a part of it as well as Boise, SDSU and Navy and the Catholic schools. There was talk of a $100 mil TV deal. Even $60 mil was discussed. We were hearing numbers exponentially greater than what we make in CUSA.

FL? Dallas-Fort Worth-Denton Texas is part of the metroplex or whatever they call it. I think they got like 40k students too.
