re: Tulane just wants to play

That is ridiculously stupid. I also don't really care about graduate programs. Tulane is an undergraduate focused institution and dominates LSU in that regard.

That's why Tulane is below LSU in academics. The best universities have graduate and research programs of high quality. Tulane is hundreds of millions of dollars below LSU in research.

Better professors want to be at graduate programs and programs that offer Ph.D.s. That's how academics work. There is a hierarchy to institutions. LSU has a lot more graduate programs than Tulane. Better professors go to places with graduate programs to conduct research teach graduates and undergraduates.

Taking a class from professors who teach graduate students means that undergraduates get a better education. Heck graduate students teaching classes at LSU do a better job than most faculty at places like Tulane.

Look at the research and graduate programs, LSU is better and offers more than Tulane. Students at LSU have professors who are better than Tulane.
