    Tulane to Big East?

    Was lurking on some other boards and saw some posts saying there would be an announcement at 1pm.

    The basketball schools are probably one of the things that made this happen.
    University of Houston '01. Any references to "we" or "us" likely refer to UH. Cheers!

    This was solely the doing of Memphis. They wanted somebody they could consistantly beat in football in the conference.

    I think the large number of Northeastern students that go there make this move slightly logical for the Big East. Still this just goes to show you on field performance doesn't mean a damn thing.

    Yep.

    It's all about how many TV sets you may bring.

    Tulane to Big East?

    Saw this retweet from BTB:

    @ScottDKushner: Source very close to #Tulane says today's 1 p.m. press conference is to announce its entry into the Big East conference.

    Maybe we can go ahead and be in the East now and take Tulane's conference schedule.

    This is why my enthusiasm for our entry into CUSA was tempered. I even posted then this is a watered-down version, which could quickly get worse with more defections. My biggest fear was losing USM, which can still happen.

    I thought the Big Least was supposed to blow-up, not CUSA! So much for a regional conference.

    I predicted this move, if it actually happens, a few months ago. With the recent Big East defections, I figured Tulane and ECU would be targets to back-fill that conference. USM would be on their radar too!

    Re: Tulane to Big East?

    I don't think the Big Least will survive. That's going to be the most far flung conference in history. From North to South and East to West. Idaho, California, Tennessee, Louisiana, Florida, New York etc. They need to rename it the "we have no natural rivalries conference", or the "Our travel partner is 300 miles away" conference
