Tulane had just barely avoided having to disband its program. Having saved the program for the time being, but still needing much more revenue, Tulane tried two approaches. First, they rallied the alumni base to contribute money. That was partially successful, but not nearly enough to keep the program going. Second, their president came to the forefront of the movement to attack the BCS on anti-trust grounds, either through the courts or through Congress, to get more money for the non-BCS conferences. That, in hindsight, probably wouldn't have worked, but it had enough traction early on among other non-BCS schools (obviously) and in Congress (troubling) that it was somewhat of a threat. It would not surprise me if LSU were pressured by other BCS schools and conferences to make some kind of deal with Tulane just to shut the bastard up. It worked, too. Almost as soon as that contract was signed, we hardly heard any more from him on the anti-trust front. I wouldn't be surprised if this was part of the deal, too.
that is all so blatantly false. i think you're blinded by hatred
