Tulane To Big East?

[Dann]

John Roach, NOLA.com:
Tulane's president says the school "will compete for and win Big East championships."

Tammy Nunez, Nola.com:
Big East said Tulane's commitment to athletics since Katrina was a big factor in inviting Tulane to the conference.

did the storm wash away there trophy case or something?

Well, there may only be five teams left by the time Tulane officially joins. So yeah, they could compete for Big East championships.

I'm really hoping this is a sign that we are leaving the conference. I would think that UMass would be a much better choice than Tulane. Northeast footprint, good basketball, rivalry with Temple and UConn. So the fact they are not adding UMass probably means that UConn is out and the Catholic schools will form their CYO league.

Also BSU and SDSU are probably gone or else they would have gone after UNLV or Fresno State over ECU.

just so u ppl know, tulane is building a new stadium 40k...the newwwwww ige east will be the best east coast mid major i think. the mac has some good programs but not markets and potential like the nbe.

Didn't someone earlier post that Tulane drew 2,100 for a game vs SMU. That will be a NBE conference game. Why would they be able to fill this new 40k stadium vs what they have now? Do they still play in the Superdome? I haven't seen Tulane play other than on a video game once

tulane has like 15k students if i remember right. small but not brutal small. i think they are having trouble drawing to the superdome right now, with the move the the big east and a 40k on campus stadium i think attendance will rise quick. i wouldn't be suprised to hear 30k for games by 2015.

@EdDaigneault Tulane been to 3 bowls since 1980 and 3 NCAA tourneys ever. BIG EAST says it has great athletic traditions. Really?

@AndrewPrince5 Maybe the Big East confused "athletic" with "academic." Words look similar.

That's good because the new stadium only seats 30K. See above link.
