Specifically to us, do you think things would have turned out any differently having an SEC school in our own state the last several decades? What comparison would you give them to us...Vanderbilt is to Tennessee as Tulane would have been to us?

I think it would have been a little interesting to see how it turned out and how much more money the Tulane football program would have to play with. Specifically to see how it would have impacted our recruiting within the state with another SEC team in it.

The biggest mistake was when Tulane got out of the SEC for their program.

I think the Tennessee is to us and Vanderbilt would have been to Tulane is a good comparison.

I would guarantee it would be a huge rivalry between LSU and Tulane.

The SEC would be a lot closer to being like CUSA, but Tulane would still be Tulane and playing to empty stadiums, Except when they play LSU...

don't think they be great in football and basketball but they may have had a championship or two in baseball. They always challenge us back in the 90s. Having SEC tied to their name in the 90s would have helped them get a few better recruits

Recruiting for LSU would have hurt. Ole Miss would not be the bottom tier FB team. Ms State would be beating 2 teams in the west.
