That's one prediction down, 3 to go.

I think it will be too difficult to drop out of DI, especially given the 11k+ season ticket sales, the 27k+ in average attendance last year, plus the bowl win.

I say they offer a life-line, but in doing so place conditions on the program that will make it difficult to recruit and therefore will lead to Tulane’s ultimate demise.

That’s my vote.

Congratulations to our New Orleans bretheren.

I take that as good news for SMU for a couple reasons. First, it avoids precedent being set or implied that a small, private school in the south can thrive without athletics. Second, Tulane would be a great member of any regional league that falls out of the realignment. Third, if Tulane fell by the wayside, I think it would have been increasingly possible that CUSA could have been the survivor of the BE/CUSA merger because they wouldnt have had to kick out members.
