Tulane headed for Austin, Dallas or Houston?
A radio report tonight indicated that Tulane could be playing their home games at the University of Houston or at the University of Texas in Austin.
Reports from Houston indicate that Green Wave athletes may be enrolling in school at Houston and Rice as soon as Tuesday with housing being the main issue to be worked out. Hotels in the area are being contacted. NCAA waivers have been given so Tulane's athletes can compete this semester while attending school at other campuses.
Tulane's football team is currently in Dallas and there had been speculation that the first game they played would be against SMU there on September 24. The first scheduled home game was supposed to be in New Orleans on September 17 against Mississippi State.
This weekend's game with Southern Miss in Hattiesburg was postponed until November 26.

Just based on the press info that's being prepped, Tulane will likely play all of their games in Houston at Rice. (This is a guess, but when maps to Rice's Stadium are among the prep items.....)
