SANJAY Posted November 27, 2012 Group: Member Topic Count: 300 Content Count: 7,993 Reputation: 968 Days Won: 21 Joined: 10/31/2005 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Tulane is building a new 30,000 seat stadium on campus...looks alot like UCF's but smaller. The glazers are funding it. So it's kind of like we're building an on campus stadium. Just at a different campus. they are actually funding a very small part of it. non disclosed "multi millions" naming the club section after them. there are 2 bigger donors, one of which is the Benson's (saints owners) who is giving $7.5M and Yulmans at $15M So I'm circuitously funding an on campus stadium on Tulane's campus? Well a small part of one. I suppose so yes. you could probably say the same for UCF's stadium if you have brighthouse cable. don't they pay UCF for naming rights? I don't have bright house.

Being in a pissy Big East full of CUSA teams is better then being in the actual CUSA... at least USF will be the senior member in the Big East and we can hang our hats on the Big Easts past glories. Also about Tulane... sure they suck, but they will give us a guaranteed road worthy opponent that is within easy driving distance, that will be a sure win, and has a killer part atmosphere on Bourbon Street and awesome food. I can't wait to go to Tulane and Memphis... guaranteed win, great food, and tons of booze. Its a poor mans SEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
