As long as Tulane and Tech are both still in CUSA, ULL doesn't have a chance of ever getting in. If Tulane wasn't around, I think ULL would have as good a shot as MTSU and FAU, both of whom are often mentioned as possible replacement members. I'd hate to see Tulane leave, and they probably aren't going anywhere, but until realignment is finished, anything is possible.
