re: Tulane's Giving Itself A Huge DISADVANTAGE In Yulman Stadium?

I really don't understand why Tulane insists on fielding a football program at the level of a conference USA or AAC. Why not just drop down to a lower level or entirely drop football for sports that Tulane can actually compete in? Baseball and basketball are sports they should prioritize instead of wasting millions on a sport where there's a definite ceiling on achievement. Tulane thinks of itself as a major liberal arts university in the south so why not behave more like what the Cornell, Williams, Harvard, and Princeton type schools do with their athletic programs?
