re: What moron decided that Tulane should leave the SEC in 1966?

As a Louisiana native and having attended Tulane, I would say 1/3 followed LSU (but loved the Saints way more), a 1/3 hated LSU, and a 1/3 did not care one way or the other.

As far as 'a majority of Tulane's demographic being from the NE' comment. That's not true. The NE consitutues the largest % from out of state, but they are not the majority. It's something like 30-40%.
