re: More crazy talk about Tulane and Big 12

There are plans that have been drawn up that would allow a stadium of 40 - 45K. It would have to be shoe-horned in, but it can be done.

Recruiting - We would get an occasional recruit from you, but that's OK. You can only take 25, and of that 25, how many come from N.O. and LA? We could do very well in keeping the other players in state that currently go to Miami, Boston College, Ole Miss, etc. OKC and Texas would be going after the athletes that you currently now own.

We were approached, and that is the sad part. I wish that we were more aggressive. Our AD is meeting with Rich Rodriguez today in Chicago. Just to get an interview with him shows the interest. The fact that Tulane is spending the money on an OCS and a good coach are all I need to know that the rumors are true about the Big 12. Maybe not this go around, but given our current administration, they would not spend the money unless it was real.

The OC from Arkansas has also showed interest, he seems like a real good coach with a good bio.
