Leaving Conference USA for the highly competitive American Athletic Conference may or may not help the Tulane men on the basketball court, but there is no debate about its tremendous financial impact.

The way the system works, Tulane might receive more money from the AAC’s March Madness performance in 2014 than it would have gained from Conference USA’s past six NCAA tournaments combined if it had stayed in that league.
