Conference realignment again????

[CajunNation]

SMU is a bad fit for Cal and possibly SDSU. Word on the MWC board is the NCAA had to cover SDSU’s travel to the Final Four with Herr Newsom’s travel ban to Texas.

They don't have time to worry about "bad fits" anymore. The reason they are in this predicament is precisely because they refused to expand at the last TV negotiation because they were going to have to add CHRISTIAN schools like BYU and SMU.

They did this to themselves.

Shouldn’t be an issue, they lost a big Methodist university in USC.

Makes sense. Tulane basically won the pac12 last year already. You know jmv, when they beat usc. Which should be impossible.

So we are baseball national champs after all?

N E V E R ! ! !

Amen. Black ball them!

Wouldn't it be nice if the ncaa required the same amount of home and away games for all teams. To continue the yankees analogy, Imagine if they said we are playing 122 home games and only 40 road games

Ncaa needs to step in. Mlb didn't let teams decide on their own to move to AL from NL, they set it up

OK. Let's address the elephant in the room.

SMU goes to the PAC.

AAC WEST needs a replacement

Wichita State
Tulsa
North Texas
UTSA
Rice
Tulane
Memphis


It's gonna be us or USM.

Thank you! We should keep our options open, do due diligence assuming AAC might become an option.

What happens after the stadium gets completed and folks still don't attend games?

AAC is arguably still the top G5 conference and Louisiana is one of the top recruiting states. IF Tulane leaves, the AAC may want to maintain a presence here. That leaves UL and LA Tech. UL is clearly the better alternative, but would we make the move? Depends on who else might leave along with Tulane and what is left over. The remaining AAC may not be better than the SBC. Additionally, the AAC is still market driven and Lafayette likely won't meet that directive and certainly Ruston won't.

Right now I’d put a buy on the top 12 SBC football teams against the top 12 AAC, and the top 6 vs the 2023 top six.

What was tulane's attendance at the super dome as a pct of stadium capacity?
