exactly what they should be doing. in a lower division. with other schools with similar mission statements and limitations.
They are. Tulane has every right and the means to compete with school in the AAC. The stadium they built is a very nice mid major stadium that will easily help them with recruiting.
Tulane has done a very good job trying to revitalize their program. Hired an energetic and capable coach and built a very nice facility.
Will take time, but they are on the right track. No reason Tulane can't compete with UCONN, SMU, Houston or anyone else in the AAC.
From what I have seen Tulane understands very well where they are in the college football world and have made changes to compete at that level. No reason why they should move down.
If we use your reasoning the only schools that should compete at the D1 level would be limited to 20 schools, which would make college football extinct.

If you use my logic the only schools that should compete at the D1 level should be somewhere between 40 and 60 odd schools. Those schools are in the major conferences (PAC, Big 10, SEC, ACC, Big 12, or major independent/partial ACC Notre Dame) with more substantial revenues.
This is what is in the process of happening right now anyway. Their revenues have skyrocketed over the last 20 years (esp the SEC and Big 10). Their extra revenues in turn have led to the stadium expansions, facility improvements, increases in coaches salaries etc which further separate those schools from the "have nots" we call midmajors.
