Hell Tulane could be in the ACC right now if they would have decided to emphasize Football in the 1970s and 80s. Tulane's present state has less to do with 1965 and more to do with 1985.
If the Metro Conference had decided to start playing football, when it included Florida State, they would be in much better shape now.
Tulane and Georgia Tech made the same moves. Tech just got lucky that the ACC became a solid conference.

Those were different times, but Auburn and UGA continued to play GT for a long time. Remember Georgia Tech left the SEC in 1963... Georgia Tech was independent until joining the ACC in 1979.
This (Auburn) rivalry lost some luster when the Georgia Tech Athletics discarded its membership in the Southeastern Conference in 1963 to become an independent institute and also to focus more on the academics of technology. However, the Yellow Jackets continued their annual series of football games with the Auburn Tigers through 1987,and with the University of Georgia though the present day.
