Have to be invited first.

That’s like asking me if I should marry Taylor Swift.

At this point why wouldn’t they get consideration?

Brings in a new market with regional accessibility. The institution has a proud reputation and New Orleans is an exciting city.

Stadium is too small and the market isn’t big enough

Also other sports aren’t up to par

I think the market is more exciting than you realize. Nola and surrounding area is 1 mil. The stadium would be the smallest in the conference but Cincy is only 38k.

I don’t think stadium capacity is as big of a deal as it used to be.

But you are probably correct. I hope they continue having success and build that program.

other than money, she's an above average looking chick.

Go to mall this weekend, and you will find 15+ better looking women.

She doesn’t really do it for me. She was cute when she was country.

Tulane is a better fit for the ACC.

The Big12 is too bloated as it is. It's stuck with teams it wouldn't have taken if the Pac12 had broken apart sooner.

Tulane is better than quite a few of the programs in the Big 12, same with the ACC.

The Big 12 is a pile of shite programs that don't have the recruiting grounds, prestige or money to compete at a high level. Not a single marquee brand in their conference. Big 12 is closer to the G5 (soon G6 with Pac 12) than it is a power conference

I dont think Colorado will be able to maintain their inflated viewership totals when Hunter and Shedeur leave.

Better doesn't matter. If it did, the SEC wouldn't be stuck with Miss State.

No, we've had a few outstanding years, but in this day and age, it's easier to get to the CFP from the AAC than B12/ACC. Your schedule no longer matters, so playing tougher competition really isn't important. There's no guarantee that giong to a bigger conference doesn't mean going 6-6 is a good year again. Screw that. Winning is so much more fun than saying you are in XYZ conference. Not to mention does anyone even think the B12 or ACC is going to be around in 10 years? Very iffy.

Tulane’s stadium holds like 29,500

Perfect for the ACC

Honestly we should reconsider the PAC offer if the TV money works out.

Boise State, Fresno State, Memphis (if they come)... ...it's a bunch of programs that have gas in the tank.

It’s about money…the money would be better and Tulane can continue to advance their program. Better recruits and more interest could not just put you in the playoffs but allow you to maybe win a game.

So he's ball sucking a celeb for saying he'd marry an above average looking woman b/c you might find somebody hotter at the mall? Oh and by the way you also have to ignore she's a billionaire and the most famous musician/person on the planet... again... b/c there are more attractive people?

Are you a complete idiot?
