Do you think the Big 12 would ever take Tulane?

I read that in another thread.


That's a joke, right?

Maybe, I could see UT and OU wanting to play in the superdome every other year.

Fixed it for you.

I came across UTEP at Tulane flipping through the channels last Saturday. There couldn't have been 5,000 people in that building.

That's a mighty big check to write for that privilege.

Millions/yr for a few/yr? Cheaper to buy direct.

It would not surprise me to see Tulane athletics move down to another division at some point, that has been on the table since Katrina

This is the Whorns 2012 schedule substituting TCU for A&M and Louisville for Missouri. If they ever want to bring that conference back to 12 teams, they would do well to find stiffer competition than Tulane.

Sept. 1 WYOMING TBA
Sept. 8 NEW MEXICO TBA
Sept. 15 at Mississippi TBA
Sept. 29 IOWA STATE TBA
Oct. 6 vs. Oklahoma (Dallas) TBA
Oct. 13 at Oklahoma State TBA
Oct. 20 BAYLOR TBA
Oct. 27 at Kansas TBA
Nov. 3 at Texas Tech TBA
Nov. 10 LOUISVILLE TBA
Nov. 17 at Kansas State TBA
Nov. 22 TCU TBA

Per Kaare Johnson this afternoon; Tulane has a shot of being a member of the Big 12/10/8/7.

Why would Texas want a school that cannot get a 1,000 people to come see a game? Per Kaare, it's because they have a $9 million athletic budget.

I heard it too and that's not what he said.

The city Tulane plays in adds to Tulane's "image" for the Big 12. Tournaments/championships in nola, plus it would maybe open a door to recruiting.

Wouldn't think of Tulane as team 10 but could see them as #12. AUA or whatever member, they hire a "name" coach, could happen...


IMO it's not as far fetched as some think but lots would need to happen before that, turned down by a couple schools would be a start
