    What a disaster.
    As a Tulane fan, I am thrilled. This will help recruiting since there's at least some semblance of a way of getting into a bowl game. Couple that with Tulane's decision to build a stadium on campus again, and we'll be back in a couple of decades!

      Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

          We could almost recycle those Quest T-shirts everybody loved so much.

          • I'm guessing that stripper and SJS still want BYU to join the Beast.

              BYU should only go if Rice or UAB also joins to make it 16.

                BYU should demand that #16 be a western school like UNLV or New Mexico.

                    Amen. I liked the Big East, not C-USA 2.0.

                    Time to cobble together a nice regional conference.

                    • BYU was never offered an invitation, according to Big lEast commissioner Mike Aersco...

                      Although discussions between the Big East and BYU had picked up the past few days, a source with direct knowledge of the conversations told CBSSports.com College Football Insider Jeremy Fowler that the school has declined an invitation from the conference. Big East commissioner Mike Aresco has said the conference did not extend an invitation to BYU

                          I believe an offer was never made, because the way most of these conferences operate is that no official offer is made until everything has been hashed out and informally agreed to. No one would ever even imagine that the BE would take Tulane or ECU over BYU.

                            Well, no one except SU. Of course, SU believes that a Windose-based smartphone is the future too.

                              Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                                When you are adding Tulane, your conference is in trouble (no offense to waup). Tulane is horrible in football and do they even have a basketball team? I attend the BYU/Tulane game back in 2009(?) and BYU had more fans at that game and in the French Quarter. At this point the MWC, with BSU and SDSU possibles, is better than the Big East.
                                "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
