Playing BIG XII teams six times a season will put between 50,000 to 60,000 per game into Dome and then expanded Yulman.

beds don't matter. Its the size of the gym that can house the freshman, the quality of the slop they serve in the gyms chow line, and the quality of the gym divider that separates the kids in the chow line from the PE students. Booger Presley gets mad when the basketball lands in the of slop, so the divider may be the most important part of the equation. A mad booger equals your school staying put in the AAC. A happy booger contributes to an upgrade to the big 12. Does the big 12 recognize the tri-lambs and mega moos in their Greek system ?

Why does that theory not work everywhere else? I guarantee ECU will put close to 40K in the stadium for F'n Towson. Everyone else will get our usual close to 50k.

I will give you the pro stadium is a terrible place to have a college team play. Sans Temple and USF.

Not for ECU, we've sold out UAB, Marshall, Tulsa, Tulane & SMU games before (50,000).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dowdy%E2%8...nded_games

Now you could say that's because we're the only game in town but the fact remains that we care and we could go to 85k fairly easily if in a 'major' conference.

In our current state, no way we get a B12 invite. However the thought process is we get a few years to cash in on our recent investments, improve, then get a shot at an invite. NOLA folks are notoriously loyal and would come out for the local university if we gave them a winning product. When we were playing compelling schedules in the past, people showed up to the Dome despite an iffy product. NOLA fits the B12 makeup better than the larger Florida schools/cities. As been explained in other reports, LA is the only big time recruiting state with only one P5 school. Look, if Tulane wasn't in NOLA, we would have no shot but conferences want this city for recruiting and to provide a destination for fans. Nevermind the possibility of hosting their championship game in the Dome each year. Add in AAU and there is something there, but again we would have to right the ship to at least Rutgers type levels. The point is that the initial re-action is to laugh at Tulane ot a major conference but the people making the decisions are not laughing.

"That theory" works when geography works. Texas and Iowa State do not want anything to do with Greenville or Orlando.

If Tulane gets 50k for a game, ECU would get 100k for that same game

This is a sign of a weak brand.

In theory, people should come out to watch YOU play - and not the other team. Tulane has some issues in marketing/fanbase side of the equation.

The biggest problem is that the team doesn't consistently win games. This is why our AD watered down the schedule - Tulane cannot afford to start 1-3 every season. It kills them.

buffalo is aau, in a major US city bordering major international cities (Toronto)
so is buffalo a potential expansion team for the acc if they needed one?

to me if tulane was doing 30-35k attendance in the aac (probably translates to 40-45k in the big 12) and was doing 6-7k basketball attendance with atleast relative history of success, tulane would be #1 in my opinion....but you're historically horrible in every sport...you average the worst attendance for all sports, you have a tiny alumni base..you are currently one of the AAC bottom teams but somehow a serious big 12 candidate??

they added wvu i doubt they care about aau, the big 12 is currently trying to place itself as the best p5, fan wise and successwise..i honestly dont see them adding a team that would translate to wake on the p5 level
