The big 12. No different than having Cincy in the conference. But I don't think Tulane increases the tv revenue enough for it to be worthwhile for the other teams.

Exactly. Tulane is a small, private school already in the SEC Footprint. They don't add anything in terms of viewership.

But they offer New Orleans as a road trip (NOLA still has a good brand name), and they offer a recruiting pipeline into Louisiana.

Conferences care about academics, and Tulane would raise the Big XII's academic profile.

Cincinnati (46,000 Students) is a LOT larger of a school than many people realize. It is also in a much bigger CSA Metro as well. I just do not see these two schools as being even remotely similar at the moment. Once Cincinnati, UCF and Houston all leave for the Big 12...Tulane (14k Students) should stay in the AAC and see if they can become a program like Cincinnati. A program that builds sustained success and grows its fan base. Until then, Tulane isn't on any P5 radar. Become the G5 Power for the next 5-10 years and then swing for the Big 12.
