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

Yep saw it myself. Absolute insanity from the Big East. I think Tulane is just trying to dodge an instate ass whooping from the Dawgs , oh well best of luck to the Green Wave!
The basketball schools will just love that move.
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.

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.
That is amazing! I can't imagine why anyone would want them. I guess they want some easy wins, but other than teams getting a trip to New Orleans each year, there is nothing added by Tulane to improve the conference strength.
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.
As long as we don't replace with a ULx twin...
I don't get it on either one's part. The only thing I can think of is that Houston and SMU talked them into it, so those two didn't have to bail. The MWC is the new WAC and the Big East is becoming the new CUSA. Ridiculous! Tulane is one of the worst picks that they could make. For Tulane, it is a bad move, as well - Big East bball money is going to not be as great soon either. This is all madness now. Houston and SMU need to come back and let the Big East die.
I thought the Big Least was supposed to blow-up, not CUSA! So much for a regional conference.
Sucks big time!!
Wonder which shoe falls next?
