Big East?

Seems like a good thing for Tulane. Although the Big East is a shadow of what it used to be, looks like a step up. Especially for hoops, and given that so many Tulane students come from the northeast.

The only bad thing I saw was that TU intends to play all of its BE basketball games in 18,000 seat NO Arena. Way bigger than necessary (like the Superdome).

Even big time BE basketball schools like St Johns (5,600 seats) and Villanova (6,500 seats) play a lot of their games on campus rather than in the pro arena. Any way to bump up capacity at Devlin (3,600 seats) by a little bit?
