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

Tulane can compete in football.

I respectfully disagree. The football playing field has been unequal between the major schools and the midmajors and that disparity is growing more marked by the year. Do people not understand what is going on right now? Between the escalating television revenues, enormous stadiums, and facility wars I just don't see any logic in throwing more good money after bad.

IMO people who blame the Tulane leadership for an inability to compete at a higher level in football are failing to recognize the larger changes taking place in college football. My feeling for this is the same for a lot of schools but few more than Tulane. Tulane is an excellent but small and private school without facilities and a major mandate to excel in academics, not devote resources to a sport than requires tens of millions to even partially level the field.
