Hilarious to me that they tout all that they do for the New Orleans community with regard to community service but then you go there, and you barely ever meet a student from Louisiana.

Been to NO many times. And Ive met more students or people who had grad from ULL and LSU that either work in NO or live around there. The students of Tulane don't usually venture past a 3-4 block of St Charles Ave. And most if not all go home if they have 3-4 days of stagnation. The only ones that stay in or around NO are those to far from home or international students.

I once ask a lady I knew from Lafayette who was a Tulane grad in the early 80s why she thought there wasn't that many Tulane students that worked in or around NO while going to school. She said its because most of the kids that go to Tulane come from a privileged family of either wealth or power, or both. I guess if your family is wealthy enough or powerful enough you don't have to work then. The question then is do you really need a degree from a university if you are already basically set for life.

Uh, yeah. I had to respond to that tweet. That dude is delusional. Tulane never did jack in CUSA. They had one winning season right before they left CUSA in 2013 but before that what did they ever do except lose? I know some OG CUSA members feel that CUSA got watered down with SBC schools but come on, none of us were as wack as some of the ones that left. FAU is rolling now. FIU got 8 wins, WKU has won the ring twice since 14 and was the only team to beat Marshall in 14, MTSU has never had a losing season since it has been a member and UNT played for the title last season. Now plug in Tulane. LOL. They never did any of that. Hahahahaha.

I get it. USF, UCF, Memphis (now), Houston, Navy and maybe Temple are ballers. They are the only reason the AAC is a relevant league and is where they are. However, all the other schools in that league are sub par at best and have not prospered in the AAC. You think ECU wishes they were back in CUSA with Ruffin now? Heck yes they do. Tulsa and SMU? Yup. Grass ain't always greener. 9 times out of 10 it's astroturf.

USM and UTEP are going to make that chickenhead eat those words. Mark It Down. Karma Police have been notified.

Just curious. Does Tulane have a winning record against anybody in the current CUSA or the current AAC? Other than Vandy, I don't remember them beating anybody when they were playing SEC teams either.

I can't speak for anyone else but while Marshall and Tulane was in CUSA together Marshall is 4-0 in football, 8-1 in basketball and knocked Tulane out of the CUSA baseball tournament in 2008 and 2011.

They we're selected for two reasons.

1. The fact that they are located in New Orleans
2. Academics

Tulane is the one school in the American i'd trade for a few specific CUSA schools though.

Tuck Fulane! Glad they're gone. I miss New Orleans. I wish La Tech would move there. Tulane's administration is awful. They didn't let their football players attend Summer school and more stupid stuff like that. THEY PUNTED ON 3RD DOWN!!!!! Absolutely no potential in athletics. Period. Glad they're the AAC's problem now.

NO is only a destination city for other schools. No one in or around NO cares if Tulane plays or not, most are in Baton Rogue on a Sat anyway. So it wasn't because they carry the market or even get eyeballs.

As of right now the AAC has more warts than CUSA. And all it would take is for 2 teams to jump and I think the AAC would be done for. My guess it will be the 1st conference gutted when Texas and Oklahoma fly off to the PAC whatever and take Oklahoma State and Kansas with them. My guess is 2021-2023.

Tulane was the reason the real Big East teams broke apart. When they were shoved into the league “expansion” in the backdoor, that’s when the Catholic basketball schools said enough, took their name and moved on.

Actually it was when ECU showed up as a Football only to begin with. The C7 took off the next day. The addition of Tulane and then Tulsa pushed them over the edge of no return.

Tulane, Tulsa, ECU, SMU football, UConn (all), Cincy football are all ugly warts in the AAC as we speak.

You must be new here and not understand how things work..
If this did happen many of our teams wouldn't care about the result of the aac, it's not insulting being in a position to be added to the Big 12 (something many schools could only dream about) so I'm sure many of us not named Tulane would love it.

Also, If the American is "done for" they will eat the top of CUSA if you guys are lucky.
Resulting in CUSA being "done for" even more than they already are lol.

Calm down tho, thundering herd guy don't be so mean.
Just because you didn't make the cut doesn't mean you have to be rude and try to come up with wild remarks.

Yeah, but we weren't included for the same reason USM wasn't: Enrollment and budget and much less to do with program history or performance.

New here. Ive been on this message board since 2002 and under this nick since 2003. You do understand you or others won't be added to the B12 right. By the time the B12 will be picked over only 5 maybe 6 schools will be left in most likely Iowa State, Kansas State, Baylor, Texas Tech, TCU and WVU. The B12 will then be like the BE, a relic of a Power Conference. No one added in the AACk would keep it a PC, not UCF/USF, Memphis, Cincy or UConn. And the P5 will be down to 4 conferences, which they have wanted for the last 20 years. WVU may and its a big may get saved by the ACC, but I wouldn't count on it.

Once what was the B12 gets done taking the 4 schools they want from the AACk then whoever is leftover from Memphis, Cincy or UConn will head to the BE and try and play Indy football. That will leave one of two of USF/UCF they won't take them both, ECU, Tulane, Tulsa and Temple. So why would 5-7 schools jump to play with the warts left behind.

And Memphis boy at least where I live isn't nasty as all get out. The city of Memphis outside the tourist traps of Beale Street and a few others is just plain nasty. The Liberty Bowl doesn't belong to the university nor does FedEx Forum. A university that doesn't even own its own facilities is weak.

Must be. Very strange comment from him. Especially when you consider Southern Miss owns their head-to-head football series with Tulane, 23-7. And even UTEP football holds their series edge over Tulane, 5-4.

The conversation was about basketball.

There you go.

That makes perfect sense (although, again, how is that new - didn't Tulane play Houston and Memphis even when they shared a conference with UTEP and USM).

Well if we want compare basketball history, we have the winning record in that too.

From Feb 2000 - Dec 2016 head-to-head action:
Wins
Tulane - 11
Southern Miss - 19

You’re simply wrong and delusional. I think being left behind in cusa has got to you lol I love it!

Memphis is far better than your little town in West Virginia. There are definitely parts that aren’t nice, just as any urban city has. But there are also many parts inner city that are very very nice. I understand you wouldn’t know this by not living here. As far as the suburbs go they are also booming and clean as can be.

Why own our own stadium when we live in a city with better facilities than you’ll ever have? 60K seat football stadium and a state of the art NBA arena? We love it! If anyone here is weak it’s you’re small town and school. You’re just salty cause you got left behind and we’re flourishing in our new conference with all the opportunity in the world. Marshall isn’t attractive in the athletic world. Memphis would run all over you salty green turd.

Let us not forget that Tulane walked away from the Eternal Gold Mine that is the SEC. And unlike the other SEC expatriate, Georgia Tech (who only made an adjustment to the ACC and won a share of the National Championship in the 90s) ; The Green Wave has now become athletically irrelevant.

I can't imagine there was any way in the 60's to foresee college athletics in general, let alone the SEC specifically, would grow into the business and revenue producer that it has.

Do you wear the American “A” logo on your uniforms? If so, then I highly doubt it since Marshall thus far has been the green kryptonite in every sport to anyone and everyone wearing the AAC logo.



You could invite Wichita State in to increase your basketball... oh, never mind.

Tulane is my dark horse choice. Think they win 6 and make a bowl this year.
