As opposed to posting an emoticon, please explain in detail what financial benefits Tulane brings to the table for them to join the SEC.

and if the sec had a few better schools, like GT and TU, maybe the big 10's commissioner wouldn't be so quick to basically call the conference stupid
I would take Texas A@M over Tulane because they are a good school, have a good sports program, and would be a way better rival than Tulane or Arkansas for LSU.

i was just copying your style, posting emoticons and HAHAHAHAHAHA's instead of any form of rational, logical arguments. i also don't know why you opened that question with a "once again" as that is the first time you've posed it in this thread. i guess that is directly related to your reading comprehension issue.
to answer your question, although i don't know why i'm attempting to even discuss this with someone as biased and lacking as you've proven to be, there would probably be somewhat of a financial drop off from tulane to arkansas. this is all hypothetical though, arkansas hasn't exactly set the world on fire in football. tulane would obviously have a far superior program to the on we currently do if we were in the SEC.

I said "once again" because I asked you before, what benefit would Tulane bring. None. Since it would be a drain on the SEC, as opposed to South Carolina and Arkansas when they joined, it would not serve the SEC to have Tulane as a member.
Tulane had horrible teams for many years while they were in the SEC. They went 24 years without a win against LSU and the bulk of those years they were in the SEC.
You called the game with Arkansas a "faux" rivalry, but at least they sell their allotment of tickets to Tiger Stadium and attend the games unlike Tulane.
If Tulane wants to improve and become a force then they must do so on their own. I look at South Florida, Central Florida, Boise State, Utah, UConn and Louisville. That's what Tulane needs to do instead of looking for handouts.
ETA: Tulane ranked 85th in football attendance in 2008. LINK

Once again, what financial benefit would Tulane bring to the SEC?

Re Bama vs Tech: it was also a Bear v. Dodd disagreement over scholarship that lead GT to leave.
UGA fans are split over GT coming back. I wish it could be done for historical reasons as well as giving uga more OOC schedule flexibility.
