That was a decision made exclusively by Tulane's then-President, Dr. Eamon Kelly, in March 1985, after revelations of a point-shaving scandal had come out in court proceedings (I think it was a federal trial, but no longer sure about that). And it was also Kelly's exclusive decision to bring basketball back. Georgia Tech assistant Perry Clark was hired as Tulane's HC in summer 1988 and began recruiting and administrative duties, but the team did not actually play a game until November 1989. So it was four seasons that Tulane's record was 0-0. The women's basketball team was also disbanded for those four seasons, even though it was not implicated in the scandal.
