Tulane explores potential Power Four conference realignment possibilities
Summary

The Tulane Green Wave is among teams considered for a potential jump to a Power Four conference. With recent success in the American Conference, including a historic College Football Playoff appearance, the program is seen as a contender for such a move. The Atlantic Coast Conference could be a viable option due to geographic and academic alignments, while the Pac-12 may appear less logical. However, concerns persist about the ability of Tulane's athletic programs to compete against larger schools in a more challenging conference. Discussions on conference realignment continue as the Green Wave evaluates strategic options for the future.
