National Reaction on Twitter to Tulane Joining the Big East

#Tulane was trending nationally today, almost certainly for the first time ever. While the attitude in Uptown was overwhelmingly positive, the reaction nationwide was more... we'll say... mixed.

Reax:

Southern Miss goes 0-12, fires their coach today and #Tulane gets an upgrade in revenue and visibility. #HYFR

#Tulane to the Big East just proves that on-field success means absolutely zero anymore. One of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen.

#Tulane is joining the #BigEast in all sports. Someone remind me...when was the last time Tulane was good at anything?

@sportslawguy #Tulane is neither #Big nor #East. Please confirm.

#BigEast solidifying it's "Conference of Misfit Toys" status w addition of #Tulane and ECU. Big East should be called Conference USA
